Filter Maintenance 

The BFX-2 has six filters to prevent debris from entering internal 
components.

 

 

New Fluid Filter: Filters fluid from the New Fluid Bottle. If the fluid 

flow seems slow while trying to fill the master 
cylinder - check and clean this filter. 

This filter can be accessed through the front 
door on the top of the BFX-2. Remove screws 
and gently raise the door to access the filter. 

Unscrew the filter cover and clean the screen 
as required.

 

 

Vacuum Filter: Filters fluid in the five vacuum hoses. A filter is 

mounted in-line on each of the hoses. If the fluid 
flow seems slow from the bleeders - check and 
clean these filters. 

These filters can be accessed through the rear 
door on the top of the BFX-2. Remove the two 
thumb screws and lift the door. The filters will be 
seen about 12 inches below where the hoses 
go through the panel inside. Remove hoses 
from both ends of the filter and try clearing the 
filter with compressed air.
