the filling syringe! You will see air bubbles again.

Actuate in addition

the lever blade to chase tiny air bubbles that might
hide within the system. The job is done when no air bubbles can be seen after having follo-

a small quantity of oil inside.
Place a rag around the brake lever and the caliper thus pre-
venting overflowing oil from dropping down and contaminating and killing the brake pads.
Remove the syringe and close the end that was inserted into the reservoir quickly with your
finger. Empty the remaining content of the syringe into an container.

Tightening torque: 2,5 Nm/ 22 in.lbs.
Re-install the brake pads and the wheel.
Always pull the lever blade several times (pump) until the brake pads touch the
rotor. Always check for correct installation by activating the lever blade and checking
for eventual leaks. Never contaminate brake pads with oil or grease this causing per-
manent loss of brake power! Contaminated pads are definitely killed and MUST be
replaced! A contaminated rotor can be cleaned with MAGURA brake cleaner, warm
dishwater or alcohol.
