Check the fluid level often while bleeding
the system to prevent air from being pump-

Use only DOT-3 or 4 brake fluid from a
sealed container.
Do not mix brake fluid types and never
reuse the contaminated fluid which has
been pumped out during brake bleeding,
because that would impair the efficiency
of the brake system.
When using a brake bleeding tool, follow
the manufacturer's operating instructions.
