The level of the brake fluid decreases as the brake pads wear down. Ensure that the fluid level is always between the MAX and MIN
marks. If the level falls below the MIN mark, contact a Benelli Q.J. authorized service center and have the brake system over hauled.
Have the topping up of the brake fluid performed only by Benelli Q.J. authorized service center. Brake fluid is highly toxic. Avoid
contact and ingestion. Keep brake fluid out of reach of children and domestic animals. In the event of a brake fluid ingestion,
immediately call a doctor and do not cause vomiting, in order to avoid inhalation of brake fluid in lungs. If the brake fluid comes in
touch with your skin or eyes, immediately wash with water. Use only the brake fluid specified in the table lubricants and fluids of this
manual. Mixing different brake fluids can cause a dangerous chemical reaction, as well as the decrease of the braking efficiency, with
subsequent increase of the risk of accidents. An insufficient amount of brake fluid may allow the introduction of air in the braking
system. This could compromise the effectiveness of the braking system, with subsequent increase of the risk of accidents. Presence
of air in the braking system can be identified in the moment you feel a characteristic "spongy effect" while pushing the brake pedal.
In this case, have a braking system bleeding performed by an authorized Benelli Q.J.dealer before riding your motorcycle again.
