ACUSTRIP® Product Number 8000 Specifications Introduction As the water content of Brake Fluid increases over time, the boil point decreases. Brake Fluid with reduced boiling point can create vapor by boiling in the wheel cyclinder. This can occur under adverse braking conditions, or with a stuck brake pad. With vapor buildup pressing on the brake pedal applies force to vapor and not the pad. The result may be sudden brake failure. The presence of water in the brake fluid decreases the protection against failure due to brake fluid boiling. The ACU8000 brake fluid check is the safe and easy way to check your brake fluid. The quick test gives results in one minute and confirms the necessity to replace brake fluid. The ACU8000 Acustrip test strips work in DOT 3, DOT 4, and synthetics brake fluids. Procedures Follow directions completely for best results. The test strips should be used by the date on the packaging. Start with clean , dry hands and utensils. Run test in a well lit area, natural light if possible. Use the plastic dropper supplied to collect a sample of the brake fluid. Transfer the brake fluid sample into the plastic tube provided. Open one "Brake Fluid Check" package, remove the test strip (Do not touch the test pad), and immediately place into the plastic tube containing the brake fluid sample so that the aperture (indicator pad) is in contact with the brake fluid sample. Wait one (1) minute, remove the test strip from the tube, and shake once, briskly, to remove any excess brake fluid. Match the color of the test pad to the closest color block immediately (within ten seconds). Be sure to use the appropriate color chart for DOT 3 or DOT 4 and Synthetic Fluids.
