RONT BRAKING SYSTEM
• Turn the handlebar until the tank is in a horizontal
position;
• Fill the tank if necessary
• Remove the rubber cover from the draining union “A”
and insert a transparent flexible tube into the union
“B”;
• Immerse the free end of the tube in a transparent
container “C” filled with the same type of liquid;
• Loosen the draining union “A”;
• Fully pull the control lever on the handlebar, then release
it and wait some seconds before pumping again.
• Repeat this procedure until fluid, without air bubbles,
comes out from the tube in the transparent container;
• Keep the control lever fully pulled and lock the draining
union “A” to the torque prescribed in the table, chapter
4, section B ;
• Refit the rubber cover onto the union.
If the draining procedure has been effected correctly, a
direct fluid action, without elasticity, should be noticed
immediately after the control lever’s initial stroke.
If this is not the case, repeat the above described
procedures.
WARNING
During the draining procedure, make sure that
the fluid does not drop below the minimum level.
