nimum level
is
indicat
ed by. the warning light
«Brake»
on
the

Take the fluid
from
original containers which
must only be opened when using the fluid.
•
complete
ly change
the
brake fluid
every
15000
km (9000
miles)
or
at least
once a year.
The fluid
ducts must always
be full and without
air; a long
and elastic
movement of the
control
lever
«B"
evidences the
presence of
air inside
the
ducts.
Use
only
fresh fluid
in case
of washing
of
bra-
king
circuits.
No alcohol is to be used for washing and no
compressed air for drying
;
use Trichloroethylene
for metallic parts.
Fluid to be used: «Agip F.1 Brake fluid SAE
J
1703".
Air bleeding from braking
circuits
(fig
.
14-15)
This operation is required when the movement
of
the
control
lever on the handlebar is long
29
and
elastic because
of the presence of air insi-
de the
braking
circuits.
Operatio
ns
are
as follows
:
Braking
circuit
for right front
brake
(fig. 14)
~
turn
the handlebar until
the fluid
'
reservoir
«A" reaches
the horizontal
position
(take care
that
during
the air bleeding the fluid does not
go 6 mm
(.236")
lower than
the
maximum level);
•
act
on one caliper
half
«C"
at a time:
a)
take
out
the rubber
cover,
then fit a tran-
sparent flexible
duct «H" on the
drain plug
«D,,;
the
other
end of this
duct will
be
plunged into
a
transparent
container «I"
partially filled 'up with
fluid of the same type
b)
loosen the drain plug
«D»;
c)
completely operate several times the brake
control lever
«B»
on the handlebar; rei.ease it
slowly
and wait for a few
seconds
before
opera-
ting it again. Repeat this operation until the duct
plunged into th(} transparent
container
emits a,ir-
less fluid;
