Brake Bleeding
WARNING
 When bleeding brake system, wear safety glasses.
 Be careful when bleeding air, as brake fluid at high pressure may spray out of bleeder plug.
CAUTION
 Before removing brake fluid reservoir, wipe it off to prevent dust and other foreign matter from dropping
into the brake fluid reservoir.
 Use fresh, clear and well-sealed brake fluid of specified type or equivalent.
 DO NOT allow brake fluid to adhere to any paint surface, such as vehicle body. If brake fluid leaks onto
any paint surface, immediately wash it off.
 During bleeding, do not depress brake pedal repeatedly at any time with bleeder plug opened.
Otherwise, the amount of air in system will increase, and further bleeding is needed.
 DO NOT drain brake fluid in brake fluid reservoir while bleeding brake system.

repeatedly; depress and hold the brake pedal to a lower
position. Then loosen the bleeder plug, and rotate it at
least one turn.

moves down quickly. Then release the brake pedal.
