Attach pressure brake bleeder to fluid
reservoir and pump bleeder a few times
to pressurize hydraulic fluid system.
CAUTION!
Do not exceed 2 bar (29 psi)
pressure at the fluid reservoir
when bleeding or flushing the
hydraulic system.
Brake fluid is poisonous, highly
corrosive and dangerous to the
environment. Wear safety
glasses and rubber gloves when
working with brake fluid. Do not
siphon brake fluid with your
mouth. Immediately clean away
any fluid spilled on painted
surfaces and wash with water,
as brake fluid will remove paint.
Always use new brake fluid from
a fresh, unopened container.
Brake fluid will absorb moisture
from the air. This can lead to
corrosion problems in the
hydraulic systems, and will also
lower the brake fluid's boiling
point. Dispose of brake fluid
properly.
Connect a length of hose from clutch
slave cylinder bleeder valve (arrow) to
a container.
- Open bleeder valve and allow
brake fluid to expel until clean
fluid comes out free of air
bubbles.
- Close bleeder valve and
disconnect pressure bleeding
equipment from fluid reservoir.
Hose on bleeder valve remains
connected.
