1.
Properly park the vehicle on the level ground and turn the
engine off, then for safe convenient access to the clutch
bleed screw located on the slave cylinder.
2. Make sure that the slave cylinder bleed screw is clean.
3. Connect compressed air 70 psi (4.8 bar) to 170 psi (11.6 bar)
by the nipple attached to the Air Valve ( I ) , located on one
end of the Cover Housing ( A ) .
4. Connect the end of the proper adapter of Brake Tube
(F)
to
the Fluid Inlet Cover
( G )
located on the top of the vacuum
bleeder unit.
5.
Slip the Rubber Fitting
( J )
located on the opposite end of
the brake tube
( F )
, over the nipple of the bleed screw.
6. Operate the vacuum bleeder by turning the Air Valve
( I )
on,
and press the Push Button
( B )
to start the vacuum (allow
a few seconds for vacuum to build in the bleeder reservoir
before suction occurs), and with the box-end wrench,
loosen/open the bleed screw slightly, until fluid is visibly
draining through the bleed hose and into the Tank
( D ) .
7. Keep the bleed screw open until new fluid is visibly flowing
through the Brake Tube
( F )
(typically 20 to 30 seconds).
8. Close the bleed screw firmly, without over tightening, prior to
removing the Rubber Fitting or shutting off the unit.
Note: It is important to ensure that the Rubber Fitting remains
connected to the bleed screw, and the unit is still pulling a
vacuum while the bleed screw is closed. This prevents air from
being sucked back into the wheel cylinder from around the
bleed screw threads, before the bleed screw is tightened and
sealed.
Note: If an automatic refilled kit is not used, be sure to
periodically check the level and top of the brake fluid in the
master cylinder.
Note: Consult the vehicle manufacturer ’s guidelines for the
proper clutch vacuum bleeding procedure.
Note:
During the bleeding process, as the fluid is being
vacuumed through the bleed screw, air will also be sucked
into the bleed tube from around the bleed screw threads. This
can give the misconception that air is bleeding from the lines,
however it is normal and does not think it’s a problem. To
prevent or reduce this kind of air, coat the bleed screw threads
with silicon grease before to bleed.
