- If the fluid level does not rise, or the push rod cannot be retracted, adjust the clutch pedal. < Ref. to

- Check the fluid level using the scale on the outside of the clutch reservoir tank (A). If the level is below "MIN" (B), inspect the clutch master cylinder, operating cylinder and hydraulic line for fluid leaks. If fluid leaks are found, repair or replace. If fluid leaks are not found, add clutch fluid to bring it up to "MAX" (C) of clutch reservoir tank. < Ref. to

CAUTION:
- Prevent the clutch fluid from being splashed over vehicle body. If clutch fluid is splashed over vehicle body, flush it, and then wipe it up.
- If the fluid is spilt on exhaust pipe, wipe it off with a clean cloth to avoid emitting smoke or causing a fire.
- Avoid mixing brake fluid of different brands to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
- Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the reservoir tank.
