3. OPeratiOn
use your bleeder only as directed. read these directions completely before starting. the apparatus is intended for use only by individuals
experienced with bleeding and servicing hydraulic systems. if you are unsure about your ability or experience, consult a trained professional.
Always follow vehicle manufacturer's directions when bleeding hydraulic systems.
3.1.
Ensure that the bleeder is clean and free from debris and old hydraulic fluid.
3.2. Remove hydraulic fluid reservoir cap from the vehicle. If old fluid is contaminated, syphon it off and refill reservoir with fresh fluid.
dO nOt pump contaminated fluid through the hydraulic system.
3.3. Firmly attach the bleeder cap to the vehicle fluid reservoir, ensuring that the gasket seats properly and is not worn or cracked.
3.4. Tighten pump cap onto empty bleeder and pressurise to 10 psi (0.7bar). Check for leaks at the fluid reservoir and at the bleeder
fluid hose connections. If reservoir cap or hose connections are leaking, release accumulated pressure in the bleeder reservoir by
gently unscrewing the pump cap.
dO nOt remove the cap before depressurising the bleeder reservoir. reattach the bleeder reservoir cap or tighten hose connections
and once again pump the tank to 10 psi (0.7bar) and check for leaks.
3.5. If no leaks are found, gently unscrew pump cap and add new hydraulic fluid from a sealed container. Use only the type of hydraulic
fluid recommended for your vehicle.
3.6.
tighten the pump cap and pressurise the bleeder to the level recommended in the vehicle service manual.
dO nOt exceed 20psi (1.4bar). Higher pressures may damage your vehicles hydraulic system and could result in serious injury.
3.7. Determine the correct brake bleeding sequence from your vehicles service manual. Attach bleed tube to bleed valve at the first
cylinder to be bled, open end in a suitable fluid receptacle. Open bleed valve and bleed until fluid runs clear and free of
bubbles.Tighten bleed valve to the torque specified in your vehicle service manual.
3.8.
repeat on each bleed valve. Pump additional pressure into bleeder if necessary.
3.9. If fluid remains in the bleeder reservoir when finished, tip the tank away from fluid pick up tube and open bleed valve closest to the
master cylinder. Allow air to flow into fluid reservoir until fluid level falls just to the maximum fill level on your reservoir. Close the
bleed valve and tighten to specified torque.
3.10.
When complete, release pressure by slowly loosening the pump cap. Remove the cap from the fluid reservoir, taking care to avoid
spilling any fluid that remains in the tube.
3.11.
Replace fluid reservoir cap on your vehicle, checking that the fluid level is at the maximum level indicated on the vehicle reservoir.
3.12.
Before driving your vehicle, carefully check for leaks and test for proper brake operation.
3.13.
dO nOt store hydraulic fluid in bleeder. Always dispose of excess fluid properly in accordance with local authority regulations.
