Product description
2.1
Application
BFX-20 is solely meant for filling and emptying brake fluid from
brake and clutch systems in motorized vehicles. Any other use
beyond this is regarded as improper and forbidden.
2.2
Improper use
m
Operating the device with fluids other than brake fluid can
damage the brake fluid exchange device and is thus forbid-
den. In the event of improper use, MAHLE is not liable for any
damage caused.
2.3
Operating principle
The brake fluid is withdrawn from the container by means of
a pump and constantly pumped into the brake fluid vessel at
a pressure of up to 3.5 bar. The used brake fluid can then be
drained from the individual wheel brake cylinders until the new
brake fluid comes out.
In doing so, you avoid having to transfer liquids and the brake
fluid can be absorbed in water, unlike conventional systems.
The pump for filling the brake fluid vessel has a pump monitor.
The pump switches off if pressure cannot be built up or if the
pump suctions air.
