3. OpERATION
Use your bleeder only as directed. Read these directions completely before starting. The apparatus is intended for use only by individuals
experienced with bleeding and servicing hydraulic systems. If you are unsure about your ability or experience, consult a trained professional.
Always follow vehicle manufacturer’s directions when bleeding hydraulic systems.
3.1.
Ensure that the bleeder is clean and free from debris and old hydraulic fluid.
3.2.
Remove hydraulic fluid reservoir cap from the vehicle. If old fluid is contaminated, syphon it off and refill reservoir with fresh fluid.
8
DO NOT
pump contaminated fluid through the hydraulic system.
3.3.
Firmly attach the bleeder cap to the vehicle fluid reservoir, ensuring that the gasket seats properly and is not worn or cracked.
3.4.
Tighten pump cap onto empty bleeder and pressurise to 10 psi (0.7bar). Check for leaks at the fluid reservoir and at the bleeder fluid
hose connections. If reservoir cap or hose connections are leaking, release accumulated pressure in the bleeder reservoir by gently
unscrewing the pump cap.
DO NOT
remove the cap before de-pressurising the bleeder reservoir. Reattach the bleeder reservoir cap
or tighten hose connections and once again pump the tank to 10 psi (0.7bar) and check for leaks.
3.5.
If no leaks are found, gently unscrew pump cap and add up to 1.25 litre of new hydraulic fluid from a sealed container. Use only the
type of hydraulic fluid recommended for your vehicle.
3.6.
Tighten the pump cap and pressurise the bleeder to the level recommended in the vehicle service manual.
DO NOT
exceed 28psi
(1.9bar). Higher pressures may damage your vehicles hydraulic system and could result in serious injury.
