Brake Fluid Tester
GENERAL
Brake fluid is hygroscopic – the higher the percentage of water in the brake fluid, the lower its boiling point.
When having reached a very low boiling point due to a high percentage of water, the brake fluid might
inevitably start to boil. The then produced air bubbles can cause the whole braking system to fail. Any
Brake fluid should be checked for its percentage of water, regularly. With this electronic brake fluid tester,
you can determine the percentage of water in and evaluate the current state of any brake fluid.
SAFETY ADVICE
Always wear safety goggles when handling with brake fluid.
Brake fluid should never get on your bare skin. Therefore, always wear safety gloves.
In case of getting brake fluid in your eyes, rinse with water and consult a doctor, immediately.
If you are not sure about the overall condition of your braking system, consult an expert.
TECHNICAL DATA
5 diodes for the immediate indication of test results
Battery: 1x 1.5V AAA micro
Automatic shutdown after approx. 10 seconds
Two sensors (liquid-tight - built into the casing)
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Put in battery. Therefore open the cover by pulling it out of
the casing.
Insert battery with the positive in direction of the switch
and put in the battery cover.
To measure, remove the front cover.
OPERATE
1. Switch on the tester by pressing the “start” button. The device
is ready to be used when the green diode flashes.
2. Dip the sensors of the tester approx. 1 cm deep into the
brake fluid.
3. The current state of the brake fluid is indicated immediately.
The result can be read as following page.
