Hydraulic brake system (Freelander 2)

WARNING: Do not mix different types of brake fluid.

• When loosening or tightening brake pipes or brake hose nuts, always use two wrenches.
• Make sure the hoses are not kinked or knotted.
• Secure the brake lines and hoses in the provided mounting brackets. Once secured, they must not come into contact with potential sources of friction.
• Containers for draining and storing brake fluid must be absolutely clean.
• Do not store brake fluid in unsealed containers as the fluid will absorb moisture from the surrounding air, lowering its boiling point.
• Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with other fluids, such as mineral oils. Do not drain brake fluid intended for further use into a container that previously contained other fluid.
• Do not reuse brake fluid that was drained from the system during repair.
• To clean brake system components, use filtered brake fluid or a recommended substitute.
• Unless otherwise stated, use only clean brake fluid to lubricate seals and brake system components.
• After disconnecting brake lines or hoses, immediately install protective caps or plugs to prevent dirt from entering the system.
• Check the thread compatibility of the original parts with the new parts being installed.
• When disassembling hydraulic system components, ensure that the work area is absolutely clean.
