• Improper repair or handling may lead
to significant hazards to the user and
may damage the unit. – Unintended
use or improper operation of the unit
will void the liability for possible dam-
ages.
• A function and leakage check must
be performed after the repair of the
unit has been completed. It must be
ensured hereby that units for brake
fluids (blue units) are only oper-
ated with brake fluid on glycol base
(DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.1). The use of

1.2 Safety notes on the brake fluid
• Do not swallow or drink brake fluid!
Strictly avoid contact with eyes and
skins. In case of emergency, immedi-
ately consult a physician and present
container information.
• Swallowing or drinking brake fluid
leads to symptoms of poisoning such
as headaches, dizziness, stomach
pain, vomiting, and diarrhea and, in
severe cases, may cause cramping,
unconsciousness or death.
• If brake fluid has entered the eyes,
rinse them immediately with much
clear water. An eye specialist must be
consulted immediately after the eyes
have been rinsed.
• If brake fluid has come in contact with
the skin, rinse the skin immediately
with much clear water. Immediately
contact a physician in case of skin
irritation.
• Change clothing soiled with brake
fluid as soon as possible.
• Always keep brake fluid closed and
store only in original containers. Brake
fluid must not be accessible to chil-
dren or other persons not able to read
the label and warnings.
• When painted or sensitive surfaces
come into contact with brake fluid,
immediately wash the paint with clear
water.
• Follow the recommendations and reg-
ulations of the vehicle manufacturer
when refilling the brake system with
brake fluid.
• Glycol-based brake fluids (DOT 3,
DOT 4, DOT 5.1) may not be mixed
