If the air bleed ing operation from the front left and
rear brake circuits has been done correctly, the ef-
ficiency of the braking action will be felt immedia-
tely after the initial run of the pedal. If not. repeat
the operation.
6 Checking the brake fluid level and changing the
brake fluid In the reservoirs-master cylinders (fig .
167-168 -1000 SP)
For good brake operation, these directions should
be followed strictly:
1 Check the flu id level frequently. It should never be
below the transparent section .. C .. of reservoir "A .. ,
2 Periodically, or whenever necessary, top up re-
servoir "A" after loosening cap .. D .. and removing
the gaiter (fig. 167).
The fluid level for the left front and rear brake re-
servoir is indicated by a warning light (10 in fig. 11 )
on the panel which is connected to solenoid .. H"
on the plug (see fig. 169).
To top up this reservoir it is necessary to undo plug
.. H .. of master cylinder .. I .. (fig. 169), after discon-
necting all electrical cables. To top up use only fresh
fluid taken from sealed containers to be opened just
before use.
3 Every 15.000 km (9500 miles) or at least once a
year renew the brake fluid completely,
The fuel pipes should always be full and without air :
a long and elastic movement of control lever uB»
evidences the presence of air inside the pipes.
When cleaning the braking circui ts, use only fresh
fluid.
Under no circumstances, should alcohol be used for
cleaning or compressed air for drying . For metal
paris use Trichloroethylene. Fluid to be used : Agip
F. 1. Brake Fluid SAE J 17038.
7 General procedure to be followed in removing
any of the braking ci rc uit components
All external parts of the brake circuits should be
c leaned thoroughly before any attempt is made to
dismantle them. Plug up the pipe ends to prevent
the entrance of foreign matter.
All dismantled metal parts should be cleaned with
trichloroethylene white brake fluid has to be used
for the rubber componen ts.
Ensure thai no trichloroethylene gels in touch with
rubber parts. Handle highly precise parts with great
