Maintenance And Servicing
1.
Before each use:
Inspect the general condition of the Vacuum Brake
Bleeder. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or
broken parts, damaged hoses, loose connections, and any other condition
that may affect its safe operation. If a problem occurs, have the problem
corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
2.
When cleaning:
Do not clean the Vacuum Bleeder with cleaners or other
solvents not intended for use with plastic components. Use a clean cloth
and, if necessary, a mild detergent. Do not immerse the Vacuum Brake
Bleeder in any liquid.
3.
When storing:
Do not store fluid in the tank. Remove the extracting tank
stopper and drain fluid from the tank. Dispose of excess fluid properly,
according to federal, state, and local guidelines. Store the Vacuum Brake
Bleeder in a clean, dry location out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
The Vacuum Brake Bleeder is not extracting fluid
(1) Close brake bleeder screw.
(2) Apply brakes and release a few times.
(3) Ensure air compresser capable of at least 2 CFM is connected, turned on
and brake bleeder nipple is attached to brake bleeder screw.
(4) Depress air flow handle and lock into place with securing clamp.
(5) Open bleeder screwer with wrench to extract fluid.
Where do I find the correct brake fluid type?
Refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the correct brake fluid type. It may
also be printed on the master cylinder reservoir cap.
Do I need to remove wheels from the vehicle?
If you have access and enough clearance open to the bleeder nipple through
the wheel or under the vehicle, removing the wheel may not be required.
Can I separate the lid from the tank?
The lid should not be removed from the tank body of the vacuum brake
bleeder. If it is removed, please make sure it is reattached to the tank and tightly
sealed before operating.
