Brake Oil: MAGURA disc brakes use as transmission medium low viscosity
mineral oil, the biodegradable MAGURA ROYAL BLOOD. Contrary to DOT brake
liquid the MAGURA ROYAL BLOOD does not irritate human skin or strip the
paint of your frame. Moreover it does not absorb water like DOT and does not
have to be changed regularly. What sounds unbelievable is a fact: you can use
your brakes over years without having to touch them (except brake pad check
and change!)
1.
Loosen slightly the clamping screw of the brake lever with a 5mm allen key and
turn the brake lever so that the reservoir is positioned
horizontal
. Slightly tighten the
clamp screw in that position.
2.
For filling and bleeding a MAGURA disc brake you will need the disc brake servi-
ce kit (Code: 0721 294) including all necessary tools.
3.
Prepare the transparent filler tube by pushing in by hand the M6 barbed fitting.
Put the other end of the filler tube on the syringe and fill the syringe
completely
with
MAGURA ROYAL BLOOD mineral oil. Fill the syringe completely and make sure that
there are no air bubbles inside.
Turn the syringe eventually to push out air bubbles.
4.
Remove the brake pads as described on page 12 and slide the YELLOW trans-
port device as shown
with its THICK END
between the caliper pistons. Squeeze
slightly the lever blade (pump) to tighten the transport device.
Only use the YELLOW
transport device for this procedure, the formerly used black one is not suitable
for this work!
5.
Fix the caliper so that the hose connection points upwards!. It might be neces-
sary that you have to unscrew the lower caliper fitting bolt and to fix the caliper as
shown to ensure this vertical hose position. Unscrew bleeding screw with a 3mm Allen
key. Screw in the prepared syringe and tighten it with a 8mm open end spanner.
Place now a rag, which has to be free of oil or lubricants around the reser-
voir and, more important, around the brake caliper. Care for a clean working
environment! No dirt or particles may come into the brake system!
