3 . Extract as much used hydraulic fluid from the
master cylinder reservoir as possible, and refill it
with new fluid .
4 . Select the appropriate master cylinder pressure
bleed adapter and install it securely onto the
master cylinder reservoir .
5 . Hang the fluid transfer bottle assembly in a
safe, secure location within reach of the master
cylinder reservoir .
6 . Perform the following procedure before adding
any fluid to the fluid transfer bottle:
a . Connect the fluid hose to the male quick-con-
nect coupler on the master cylinder pressure
bleed adapter . Ensure the coupler sleeve snaps
forward to lock the connection .
b . Consult the vehicle manufacturer’s guide-
lines for the proper bleeding pressure .
c . Connect a Mityvac hand pressure pump w/
pressure gauge to the inlet hose extending
from the side of the fluid transfer bottle .
d . Ensure the shutoff valve on the fluid hose as-
sembly is open, and operate the manual pump
to pressurize the system to the recommended
pressure .
e . Watch the pressure gauge to ensure there
are no leaks . If the pressure drops, relieve the
remaining pressure in the system by activating
the pressure relief lever on the hand pump .
Remove and retighten the cap from the fluid
transfer bottle and the adapter on the master
cylinder reservoir, and recheck the system for
leaks .
WARNING: Serious injury and/or equipment
damage can occur if the lid is removed from
the fluid transfer bottle or the adapter from
the master cylinder, without first relieving the
system pressure .
7 . Once all connections are proven secure and the
master cylinder adapter does not leak, remove
the cap from the fluid transfer bottle and add
up to 1 quart (1 liter) of the vehicle manufac-
turer’s recommended new hydraulic fluid from
a sealed container .
