Rear Braking System Bleeding - Husqvarna TE 310-450-510 210 I.E. Owner's Manual

- Restore the brake fluid level (A) then reassemble the rubber
and the fluid reservoir cap.
WARNING!
During the bleed operation the fluid level
inside the reservoir must never be lower
than the minimum level.
Tightening torque for bleed valve is 1,2 ÷
1,6 kgm (12 ÷ 16 Nm; 8.8 ÷ 11.8 ft-lb).
As the braking fluid is a very corro-
sive substance, in the case it comes
in contact with your eyes wash them
abundantly with water.
During the bleeding of the braking
circuit keep the handlebar turned
leftwards. This is the way to lift the
pump tank and to make easier the bleeding
of the braking system.
If the lever stroke gets stretchy and
the braking action results as poor in
the case of falls during competitions,
or after repair work in shops, repeat the
bleeding operation described above.
As the bleeding operation does not
fully eliminate the air inside the cir-
cuit, the small quantity of air re-
maining inside will be eliminated after a
short time of use of the brake. In this case
however, the action of the lever will be
harder and the stroke shorter.

REAR BRAKING SYSTEM BLEEDING

The braking system must be bled after the fluid replacement
or when, due to air in the circuit, the pedal stroke is long and
spongy.
To bleed the system:
- Remove the reservoir cover (A) (21 mm wrench) rubber boot
and top up with (DOT 4) brake fluid.
