Instructions
13.5 Disc brake bleeding

Ensure the bleeding
screw is fully tight.

Fix a transparent flexible
tube of length 12" (30
cms.) firmly on the
bleeder nipple and insert
the other end into a glass
or plastic container
containing about 100ml
of fresh brake fluid.

Ensure the tube end is
fully immersed in the
fluid. This will prevent
atmospheric air from
getting sucked into the
caliper unit during the
bleeding process.

Ensure the master
cylinder reservoir is filled
with fresh brake fluid
from a sealed container
up to “MAX” level.

Fix the diaphragm, plate
and top cover and tighten
cover just sufficiently.

Depress brake lever /
brake pedal completely
and release fully to allow
the brake fluid to fill up in
the brake system and
caliper.

Repeat above step several
times while periodically
inspecting the fluid level
in the reservoir. Top as
required to maintain
level at “MAX”

When a slight firmness is
felt on the lever / pedal
and travels only up to
halfway, hold the lever/
pedal firmly depressed
in that position. DO NOT
RELEASE THE LEVER.

CAUTION:
Fill only with DOT3 or DOT4

NOTE:
Do not tighten the cover
fully since it may be required
to top up fluid during
bleeding process.
