When the brake system is filled with fluid for the first time in the assembly plant, a float is installed in the fluid reservoir of the handbrake fitting \(see Figures 1 and 2\). This float is required only for the initial, vacuum\-assisted filling of the system. As long as the float remains in the reservoir it is subsequently not possible to obtain a clear reading of the brake\-fluid level. In order to make it easier for the fluid level to be read correctly, the float has to be removed.
