NOTE: Always compress the hydraulic brake lever
several times to check that the brakes are firm. If the
brakes are not firm, bleeding the system is necessary.
BLEEDING
To bleed the brake system, use the following procedure.
1. Remove the brake fluid reservoir cover and fill the
reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid.
2. Install and secure the cover.
3. Remove the protective cap from the bleed screw and
connect one end of a clear hose to the bleed screw
and direct the other end into a suitable container.

4. Slowly compress the brake lever several times; then
while holding slight pressure on the brake lever, open
the bleed screw and watch for air bubbles in the hose.
Close the bleed screw before releasing the brake lever.
Repeat this procedure until no air bubbles are present.
NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the
reservoir sight glass to make sure there is always a
sufficient amount of brake fluid in the reservoir. Fail-
ure to maintain sufficient amount of fluid in the reser-
voir will result in air being in the system.
5. Repeat step 4 until the brake lever is firm.
