Any air trapped in the hydraulic circuit acts as a cushion, absorbing much of the pressure applied by
the brake pump and minimising the braking power of the calliper.
Air in the system causes a "spongy" feeling in the brake control and poor braking efficiency.
CAUTION
CONSIDERING THE DANGER FOR VEHICLE AND RIDER, IT IS STRICTLY NECESSARY, AFTER
REFITTING BRAKES AND RESTORING THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO THE REGULAR USE CON-
DITIONS, THAT THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT BE AIR PURGED.
NOTE
THE VEHICLE MUST BE ON LEVEL GROUND TO BE PURGED. WHILE PURGING THE HYDRAUL-
IC SYSTEM, FILL THE RESERVOIR WITH THE NECESSARY QUANTITY OF BRAKE FLUID.
CHECK THAT, DURING THE OPERATION, THERE IS ALWAYS BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESER-
VOIR.

cap.
•
Operate the brake lever and then open
the bleed valve on the calliper by a 1/4
turn to let the air escape.
•
Close the bleed valve before reaching
the end of travel of the brake lever,
then repeat the operation until air no
longer escapes.
•
Screw the bleed valve and remove the pipe.
