disc; then secure with the two cap screws. Tighten

NOTE: Always compress the hydraulic brake
lever several times to check that the brakes are
firm. If the brakes are not firm, bleeding the system
will be necessary (see BLEEDING in this sub-sec-
tion).
BLEEDING
To bleed the brake system, use the following proce-
dure.
1. Remove the brake fluid reservoir cover and fill the
reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid.
2. Install and secure the cover.
3. Remove the protective cap from the bleed screw
and connect one end of a clear hose to the bleed
screw and direct the other end into a suitable con-
tainer.

4. Slowly compress the brake lever several times;
then while holding slight pressure on the brake
lever, open the bleed screw and watch for air bub-
bles in the hose. Close the bleed screw before
releasing the brake lever. Repeat this procedure
until no air bubbles are present.
NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the
reservoir sight glass to make sure there is always
a sufficient amount of brake fluid in the reservoir.
Failure to maintain sufficient amount of fluid in the
reservoir will result in air being in the system.
5. Repeat step 4 until the brake lever is firm.
