WARNING
Do not mix two brand of fluid. Change the brake fluid in
the brake line completely if the fluid must be refilled but
the type and brand of the brake fluid that is already in
the reservoir are unidentified.
●Tighten:
Torque - Bleed Valve: 5.4 N-m (0.55 kg-m, 48 in-lb)
●Apply the brake lever forcefully for a few second, and
check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

WARNING
If the brake lever has a soft or "spongy feeling" when it is
applied, there might be air in the brake line or the brake
may be defective. Since it is dangerous to operate the
vehicle under such condition, bleed the air from the brake
line immediately.
Brake Line Air Bleeding
●Bleed the air whenever brake parts are replaced or
reassembled.
●Remove the reservoir cap and fill the reservoir with new
brake fluid.
●Slowly pump the brake lever several times until no air
bubbles can be seen rising up through the fluid from the
hose at the bottom of the reservoir. This bleeds the air from
the master cylinder and the brake line.
NOTE
○Tap the brake hose lightly going from the caliper to the
reservoir side and bleed the air off at the reservoir.
●Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleed valve on the caliper,
and run the other end of the hose into a container.
●Bleed the brake line and the caliper as follows:
○Hold the brake level applied [B].
○Quickly open and close the valve [C].
○Release the brake level [A].
●The fluid level must be checked several times during the
bleeding operation and replenished as necessary.
