Draining:
• Unscrew the cover together with diaphragm from the
tank “A”;
• Rotate the handlebar until the tank “A” is in a horizontal
position;
• Remove the rubber cover from the draining union “B”
and fit a commercially available brake drainer onto
the union;
• Loosen the draining union and use the drainer to pump
until no more fluid comes out of the system;
If no drainer is available, the fluid can be drained by
connecting a flexible tube “C” to the draining union. The
end of this tube must be immersed in a brake fluid
container.
Unscrew the draining union by a 1/4 turn and activate the
control lever until all the fluid has been drained;
Filling:
• Fill the tank with prescribed oil taken from a sealed
container;
• Activate the control lever several times to fill the system
and to eliminate any air;
• Connect a drainer to the draining union;
• Pump using a drainer and loosen the draining union,
always checking that the level does not drop below
the minimum level;
• Repeat this final procedure until there are no air
bubbles in the transparent tube connected to the
draining union;
• Lock the union to the torque prescribed in the table in
chapter 4, section B.
If no drainer is available, connect a small transparent
plastic tube to the draining union, as described for draining
the system.
Open the draining valve by a 1/4 turn and activate the
control lever until the fluid starts to come out from the
valve.
