Installation notes: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use, avoid introducing dirt or other fluids into the hydraulic system, and follow the vehicle manufacturer's bleeding procedure when carrying out a fluid change or hydraulic repair.
Safety: Follow the safety information on the container and current Safety Data Sheet. Avoid contact with painted surfaces and dispose of used brake fluid responsibly.
