Initial start-up BMA/BMB-Tool Preparing the BMA/BMB Tool 18. Mop up any leaked brake fluid with a cloth and dispose of the container contents in an environmentally friendly manner. BMA/BMB Tool has been bled and is ready for operation.
BMA/BMB-Tool Working with the BMA/BMB Tool Adjusting the working pressure 5 Working with the BMA/BMB Tool Adjusting the working pressure The required working pressure can be continuously adjusted using the pressure regulator (3) between approx. 0 and approx. 2.8 bar depending on the brake system or maintenance work.
Working with the BMA/BMB Tool BMA/BMB-Tool Changing the brake fluid/bleeding the hydraulic system pressure stipulated by the vehicle manufacturer must be set on the BMA/ BMB Tool (see section Adjusting the working pressure (Page 17)). Only then can it be ensured that the brake pressure regulator does not reduce the working pressure.

BMA/BMB-Tool Working with the BMA/BMB Tool Changing the brake fluid/bleeding the hydraulic system 5. Set the correct working pressure using the pressure regulator (8) and read off the current pressure from the pressure gauge. Turning the pressure regulator to the left reduces the pressure. Turning the pressure regulator to the right increases the pressure.
Working with the BMA/BMB Tool BMA/BMB-Tool Checking the wheel brake cylinders for free movement 4. Switch on the pump using the start button (11). NOTE The brake fluid reservoir must be filled with brake fluid up to the marking MAX. Brake fluid flows pressure-free into the brake fluid reservoir.
BMA/BMB-Tool Working with the BMA/BMB Tool Replacing the brake fluid container 8. Use the main switch (10) to switch off the pump or BMA/BMB Tool. The pressure in the brake system is reduced automatically by the BMA/BMB Tool. If a wheel is still blocked or stiff, this may be caused by the following: •...
Working with the BMA/BMB Tool BMA/BMB-Tool Bleeding the BMA/BMB Tool Bleeding the BMA/BMB Tool Preconditions • Sufficient (at least 2 l) brake fluid available in the brake fluid container. • An adapter for the brake fluid reservoir is available. To bleed the BMA/BMB Tool, proceed as follows: 1.
