ECA18050
NOTICE
• Bleed the brake system in the following or-
der.

EWA15740
WARNING
Bleed the ABS whenever:
• the system is disassembled.
• a brake hose is loosened, disconnected or
replaced.
• the brake fluid level is very low.
• brake operation is faulty.
TIP
• Be careful not to spill any brake fluid or allow
the brake master cylinder reservoir to overflow.
• When bleeding the ABS, make sure that there
is always enough brake fluid before applying
the brake. Ignoring this precaution could allow
air to enter the ABS, considerably lengthening
the bleeding procedure.
• If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to let
the brake fluid settle for a few hours. Repeat
the bleeding procedure when the tiny bubbles
in the hose have disappeared.

• ABS
a. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to
the proper level with the specified brake flu-
id.

diaphragm.
