3. Remove the rubber plug from the bleeding screw .
4. With the bleed screw still tight, purge any air from the system by pumping the brake
pedal at the front of the vehicle. A second person may be required to pump the pedal
SLOWLY
at the front, while the other observes the master cylinder fluid through the
previously removed front headlight hole. When there are no longer signs of air bub -
bles observed in the master cylinder, replenish it with more fluid to bring it back up
to the top of the window.
.
Add only fresh clean Dot 5 silicon brake fluid. Old fluid will contaminate the
system, and other types of brake fluid may not be compatible with the brake
system’s components.
Catch any purged fluid at the rear bleed screw with a rag or small container of some sort.
5. Next, apply pressure to the brake pedal at the front, holding it on while
GRADUALLY
opening the bleed screw in the rear. Release the bleed screw only enough to slowly
release fluid out of the screw. If there is any air still present in the system, it will be
noticeable through this screw with a slight “spitting” of fluid. Re-tighten the screw
and once again pump the brake system
slowly
a few more times. Apply pressure to
the pedal again and hold. Open the bleed screw gradually until fluid slowly releases.
Repeat this procedure until the fluid coming from the bleed screw is a full stream with
no signs of air.
6. Replenish the master cylinder to the top of the viewing window and secure the cover
and rubber gasket.
7. Clean any stray brake fluid that might have found its way on to the brake disc with
brake cleaner. Brake fluid on the brake disc can seriously affect braking capabilities
of the CENTAUR vehicle.
8. Pump the brake pedal a few times to build up proper pressure and locate the pads in
the caliper assembly.
