CAUTION
Adequate airflow to the brakes for cooling is vital to their safe operation. Never make modifications to the vehicle that would reduce the amount of airflow to the brakes.

CAUTION
DOT 5 fluid should never be used in ABS systems. Since DOT 5 fluids do not absorb the water that finds its way into the system, the water can collect in the valves of the ABS system, corroding them and rendering them inoperative.

DANGER
Brake fluid can cause skin irritation, particularly in open wounds and sores. Protective clothing and eyewear should be worn when servicing hydraulic components.

CAUTION
Copper tubing must never be used in brake hydraulic circuits because it will become work hardened from vibration much more readily than steel and cannot withstand the high pressures in the brake system.
