2.  Product description

2.1 

Application

BFX-20 is solely meant for filling and emptying brake fluid from 
brake and clutch systems in motorized vehicles. Any other use 
beyond this is regarded as improper and forbidden.

2.2 

Improper use

 

m

Operating the device with fluids other than brake fluid can 
damage the brake fluid exchange device and is thus forbid-
den. In the event of improper use, MAHLE is not liable for any 
damage caused.

2.3 

Operating principle

The  brake  fluid  is  withdrawn  from  the  container  by  means  of 
a pump and constantly pumped into the brake fluid vessel at 
a pressure of up to 3.5 bar. The used brake fluid can then be 
drained from the individual wheel brake cylinders until the new 
brake fluid comes out.

In doing so, you avoid having to transfer liquids and the brake 
fluid can be absorbed in water, unlike conventional systems.

The pump for filling the brake fluid vessel has a pump monitor. 
The pump switches off if pressure cannot be built up or if the 
pump suctions air.
