4.2.
Brake bleeding procedure.
DO NOT touch the vehicle's brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions for brake bleeding and wheel sequence before proceeding. If no specific instructions from
the vehicle manufacturer exist, follow the instructions detailed below. If the manufacturer has not supplied a specific figure for the
maximum pressure for this operation, it is advised to keep the pressure within the 1.5 to 2Bar range, to avoid damaging the brake
fluid reservoir etc.
Fully prepare the vehicle by jacking it up or by using a ramp, remove the wheels from the vehicle as required to gain access, so that
work can commence as soon as the unit is turned on.
4.2.1. Remove the cap on the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir. If the brake fluid level is not at its maximum level, top it up, ensuring that there is
some air space above the fluid. Fit the required adaptor to the brake fluid reservoir, tighten it and ensure that there is a good seal.
4.2.2. Connect the pressure delivery hose's quick connector to the universal adaptor.
4.2.3. Rotate the pressure relief valve (fig.2) on the unit clockwise and switch on the unit. Adjust the pressure by rotating the pressure relief
valve anti-clockwise to the required pressure on the gauge (fig.2), not exceeding 2Bar. The pump will stop automatically when the
required pressure is reached. If the slight pulsing of the pump is not required or a lower pressure is desired, turn the pressure relief valve
slightly clockwise.
4.2.4. Starting with the wheel furthest away from the brake fluid reservoir, connect one end of a tube from a bleed bottle to the brake
nipple and, using a brake spanner, open the nipple approximately ¼ turn (fig.3), brake fluid will flow through the clear pipe into the
bottle, when there are no visible bubbles in the fluid, tighten the bleed nipple and remove the pipe, taking care not to spill any brake fluid.
4.2.5. Repeat the procedure at each location in turn, as required.
4.2.6. When finished,check all bleed nipples are closed and turn the unit off. Slowly vent the pressure by rotating the pressure relief valve
(fig.2) anti-clockwise until the correct level of fluid is reached in the vehicle reservoir. When the correct fluid level is achieved,
disconnect the quick fit coupling connector from the universal adapter.
4.2.7. Remove the adapter from the vehicle reservoir, taking care not to spill any brake fluid. Disconnect the battery leads.
4.2.8. Check the fluid level and refit the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir cap.
4.3.
Changing the brake fluid.
4.3.1. Carry out the brake bleeding procedure as described in 4.2.
4.3.2. Allow a longer period of time when bleeding, to allow the new fluid to flush out the old fluid. When new fluid can be seen in the clear
tube, tighten the brake nipple.
4.3.3. Repeat this procedure at each wheel in turn.
4.3.4. Disconnect as above (4.2.6. to 4.2.8.).
NOTE: When brake bleeding and/or brake fluid changing is complete, test the action of the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes
are working correctly and are not spongy, before taking the vehicle onto the road.
4.4.
Clutch bleeding procedure.
4.4.1. Refer to the relevant vehicle manufacturer's instructions for clutch bleeding procedure.
If no specific instructions from the vehicle manufacturer exist, the same basic procedures as for brake bleeding can be followed.
Dispose of all waste brake fluid responsibly. Contact your local authority for details.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1.
Check the brake fluid in the unit before each operation and observe level during operation to ensure that the level never falls below 3cm.
(Top up as required, even during bleeding operation) If fluid level drops enough to allow air into the pump of the unit, it will be necessary to
re-bleed the unit as described in para. 4.1
5.2.
The pump in the unit has an automatic overcurrent reset instead of a fuse. (Reset will take approximately 2 minutes from switch off).
5.3.
If the pump is not to be used for a long period, providing the cap remains closed, the stored brake fluid in the unit will not deteriorate
over time, due to the dry air inside. Wipe unit clean with a dampened cloth, before storing it away in a safe, dry childproof location.
5.4.
There are no regularly servicable parts to the unit, it should be returned to an authorised Sealey agent for repair if needed.
