HYDRAULIC BRAKES
AIR BLEEDING
NOTE
Check the flu id level often while bleeding
the brakes to prevent air from being pump·
ed into the system.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
• Do not mix brake fluid types and never re·
use the contaminated fluid which has been
pumped out during brake bleeding, because
this will impair the efficiency of the brake
system.
1} Squeeze the brake lever (or depress the brake
pedal), open the bleed valve 1/ 2 turn, and then
close the valve.
NOTE
Do not release the brake lever until the
bleed valve has been closed.
2) Release the brake lever (or pedal) slowly and
wait several seconds after it reaches the end of
its travel.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until bubbles cease to appear
in the fluid coming out of the bleeder valve.
Fill the fluid reservoir to the upper level mark.
