18. Reinstall lock screw, cap and O-ring.
If the small lock screw is screwed in, there should be no air left in
the reservoir.
A little bit brake fluid will be spilled.
Use absorbing paper or a rag to remove this.
19. Tighten the lock screw well into the master cylinder.
Recommended tightening torque lock screw: 5 Nm.
20. Pull the brake lever and check the function of the MPH brake
system: both sides actuated, disc in center, correct distance
brake pads to rotor ?
21. Turn the adjuster, pull the brake lever and check the function of
the MPH brake system again.
Repeat step 20 and 21 until the function is okay.
Warnings !
F
To avoid brake fluid spillage on the rotors or brake pads, causing contamination of the brake pads,
it is advisable to cover the vital parts with a rag before proceeding and to take out the wheels.
F
If the bleeder is not sufficiently tightened when using the disc brake, brake fluid may leak on the
rotor, causing loss of friction between brake pads and rotor. This can have serious consequences
for the rider.
F
Protect vital parts of the bike from spilling brake fluid by holding a rag around the fluid reservoir.
Brake fluid is hazardous and aggressive and damages not only your skin, but the paintjob and
plastic parts of the bike as well.
Use protective gloves and safety goggles when working with brake fluid.
F
Once there is brake fluid or lubricants like oil, grease, Teflon™ and silicone spray on the brake
pads, they are worthless: no more brake function.
So, don't forget to protect brake pads and rotors when working with brake fluid or lubricants.
Or, even better, remove these parts.
F
Use DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 brake fluid only. DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 brake fluid should not be mixed !
The MPH brake sets have been filled by Giant with DOT 4 brake fluid.
