BRAKE BLEEDING pROCEDURE
5.1.1.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for brake bleeding and wheel sequence before proceeding.
WARNING!
Familiarise yourself with the hazards of brake fluid - read manufacturers instructions on the container.
DO NOT
touch the
vehicle’s brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
5.1.2.
Remove the cap of the vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir. If the fluid level is not at maximum top it up.
5.1.3.
Remove the cap assembly (fig.1-A) from the replenishment bottle and invert it within the neck of the reservoir as shown in fig.1. The
threaded outlet ‘B’ must be immersed in the brake fluid. If it is not, rotate the three legged moulding ‘C’ clockwise towards the valve ‘D’
until sufficient thread is exposed to allow the outlet to be immersed in the brake fluid.
5.1.4.
Ensure the valve is closed as shown in fig.1-D.
5.1.5.
Fill the replenishment bottle just under half full with new brake fluid and screw the cap assembly back down onto the bottle. Invert
the bottle over your container of new brake fluid and open the valve so that the fluid level begins to drop towards the level marked on
the bottle. As soon as the level mark is reached close the valve.
5.1.6.
Place the bottle into the neck of the vehicle brake fluid reservoir as shown in fig.1. and open the valve. As the brakes are bled the fluid
level in the reservoir will begin to drop and expose the bottle outlet. Brake fluid will begin to flow from the replenishment bottle. Once
the level in the reservoir has risen sufficiently to cover the outlet the flow will automatically stop.
5.1.7.
Connect the brake bleeder to a suitable compressed air supply.
5.1.8.
Mount the black rubber pipe onto the brake nipple on the first wheel and open the nipple about ¼ of a turn (fig.2).
5.1.9.
Activate the brake bleeder’s trigger. The vacuum created will draw the brake fluid from the vehicle’s brake system.
5.1.10.
C
ontinue to bleed the system until there are no air bubbles visible in the clear tube (fig.3).
5.1.11.
C
lose the brake nipple (fig.2).
5.1.12.
Remove the rubber pipe from the brake nipple.
5.1.13.
D
epress the trigger to clear brake fluid from the clear pipe.
5.1.14.
Repeat the process at each wheel in turn.
5.2.
ChANGING ThE BRAKE FLUID
5.2.1.
Repeat the brake bleeding procedure as described above. As the fluid is being completely changed regularly check the level in the
replenishment bottle.
5.2.2.
When new fluid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the brake nipple.
5.2.3.
Repeat this procedure at every wheel. When brake bleeding and/or fluid changing is complete, test the action of the brake pedal to
ensure that the brakes are working correctly, before driving the vehicle on the road.
