PIAGGIO Beverly 300ie - Service manual > Interventions rules

WARNING

BRAKING SYSTEM FLUID IS CORROSIVE: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES. IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT WITH YOUR EYES, RINSE THE CONTACT AREA WELL WITH ABUNDANT WATER.

THE BRAKE FLUID DRAINED FROM THE SYSTEM IS HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE FLUID EVERY TWO YEARS. IF BRAKES ARE USED INTENSELY AND/OR IN HARSH CONDITIONS, CHANGE THE FLUID MORE FREQUENTLY.

DURING INSTALLATION, THE PARTS TO BE REUSED MUST BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY TRACES OF OIL, FUEL AND GREASE: IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO CLEAN THEM THOROUGH WITH DENATURED ALCOHOL.

N.B.

FOR TOPPING UP AND CHANGE, USE ONLY BRAKE FLUID DOT4 - NHTSA 116.

OBSERVE THE MAXIMUM DEGREE OF CLEANLINESS. HYDRAULIC FLUID IS EXTREMELY CORROSIVE FOR PAINTED SURFACES.

BRAKE FLUID IS HYGROSCOPIC; THAT IS, IT ABSORBS MOISTURE FROM THE SURROUNDING AIR.

IF THE MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE BRAKE FLUID EXCEEDS A CERTAIN VALUE, IT WILL RESULT IN POOR BRAKING EFFICIENCY DUE TO A LOW BOILING POINT OF THE FLUID.

N.B.

ALWAYS USE FLUID FROM SEALED CONTAINERS.

N.B.

RUBBER PARTS SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT IN ALCOHOL LONGER THAN 20 SECONDS. AFTER WASHING, THE PIECES MUST BE DRIED WITH A BLAST OF COMPRESSED AIR AND A CLEAN CLOTH.

THE SEAL RINGS MUST BE IMMERSED IN THE OPERATING FLUID; THE USE OF PRF1 PROTECTIVE DEVICE IS ALLOWED.

WARNING

THE PRESENCE OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE DISC OR BRAKE PADS REDUCES BRAKING EFFICIENCY.

IN THIS CASE, REPLACE THE PADS AND CLEAN THE DISC WITH A HIGH-QUALITY SOLVENT.
