Caution: Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the
following actions:
• | Eye contact--rinse thoroughly with water. |
• | Skin contact--wash with soap and water. |
• | If ingested--consult a physician immediately. |
Caution: Use only Delco Supreme 11, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or
equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. Do not
use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water.
Improper or contaminated fluid could result in damage to components, or
loss of braking, with possible injury.
Notice: When filling the master cylinder, use only Delco Supreme 11, GM P/N 12377967
(Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT 3 brake
fluid. Do not use a container which has been used for petroleum based fluids,
or a container which is wet with water. Petroleum based fluids will cause
swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic brake system, and
water will mix with brake fluid, lowering the boiling point. Keep all fluid
containers capped to prevent contamination.
Notice: Brake fluid will damage electrical connections and painted surfaces.
Use shop cloths, suitable containers, and fender covers to prevent brake fluid
from contacting these areas. Always re-seal and wipe off brake fluid containers
to prevent spills.
Notice: Avoid spilling brake fluid on any of the vehicle's painted surfaces,
wiring, cables or electrical connectors. Brake fluid will damage paint and
electrical connections. If any fluid is spilled on the vehicle, immediately
flush the area with water to minimize the potential for damage.
Notice: Power steering fluid, engine oil, brake fluid, or any mineral based
fluids cannot be mixed. If brake seals contact power steering fluid or steering
seals contact brake fluid, seal damage will result.
Important:
• | Do not reuse the brake fluid collected during the hydraulic brake
system bleeding. |
• | Always store brake fluid in a closed container. |
• | Reseal brake fluid containers immediately after use. |
• | Do not use brake fluid left in an open container. |
• | Do not use brake fluid left in an improperly sealed container. |
• | Do not use the following fluids in the hydraulic brake system: |
- | Automatic transmission fluid |
- | DOT 5 silicone hydraulic brake fluid |
