Brake Fluid Replacement/Air Bleeding
Check the brake fluid level on level ground.
• When operating the brake lever, the
brake reservoir cap must be tightened
securely to avoid spill of brake fluid.
• When servicing the brake system, use
shop towels to cover plastic parts and
coated surfaces to avoid damage
caused by spill of brake fluid.
Brake Fluid Bleeding
In order to avoid spill of brake fluid,
connect a transparent hose to the bleed valve.
Brake fluid spilled on brake pads or
brake disk will red uce the braking effect.
Clean the brake pads and brake disk
with a high quality brake degreaser.
Fully apply the brake lever and then loosen
the brake caliper bleed valve to drain the
brake fluid until there is no air bubbles in
the brake fluid. Then, tighten the bleed valve.
Repeat these steps until the brake system is
free of air.
Brake Fluid Refilling
Add DOT-4 brake fluid to the brake reservoir.
• When bleeding, be careful not to allow
air in the brake reservoir flowing into
the brake system.
• When using a brake bleeder, follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
• Never use dirty or unspecified brake
fluid or mix different brake fluids
be-cause it will damage the brake
system.
Make sure to bleed air from the brake
system.
