If changing fluid, remove old fluid from reservoir and
lines at the bleeders with a Mity Vac
™
pump or similar
tool, topping off the reservoir with fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4
fluid as it drains to the MIN reservoir level.
DO NOT
allow the reservoir to drain completely.
Continue this
process at each bleeder until the fluid runs clear.
Brake Bleeding
1.
Begin bleeding procedure with the caliper that is farthest
from the master cylinder. Install a box end wrench on
caliper bleeder screw. Attach a clean, clear hose to fitting
and place the other end in a container. Be sure the hose fits
tightly on fitting.
NOTE: Fluid may be forced from supply port (B) if
brake lever is pumped. Place diaphragm (C) in
reservoir to prevent spills. Do not install cover tight.
See Illustration above.
2.
Slowly pump brake lever (D) until pressure builds and
holds.
3.
While maintaining lever pressure, open bleeder screw.
Allow lever to relax slowly toward the hand grip while
tightening the bleeder screw. Watch for signs of air
bubbles in the fluid as the screw is tightened. When no air
is present, the bleeding procedure should be complete.
4.
Allow lever to return back to it’s normal position once the
brake bleeder is securely tightened.
NOTE: Do not release lever before bleeder screw is
tight or air may be drawn into caliper.
5.
Repeat procedure until clean fluid appears in bleeder hose
and all air has been purged. Add fluid as necessary to
maintain level in reservoir.
6.
Tighten bleeder screw securely and remove bleeder hose.
Torque the bleeder screw to
specification.
7.
Repeat procedure for the remaining caliper(s).
8.
Add DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid to the MAX level inside
reservoir.

in the reservoir to prevent air from
entering the master cylinder.
