Bleeding the system.
To ensure the best possible brake feel it is important the system is
correctly bled. The system is bled through the bleed screw located on
the top of the slave cylinder, care should be taken not to undo the
brass adapter fitting. Only use DOT3.1, DOT4 or DOT 5.1 brake fluid.
This system is not DOT5 compatible.
1. Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid.
2. Attach a suitable transparent flexible pipe to the bleed nipple of
the slave cylinder with the other end leading into a small jar or
similar.
3. Loosen the bled nipple using a
¼
” spanner.
4. Depress the brake pedal and hold it in the full travel position.
5. Lightly tighten the bleed nipple.
6. Release the brake pedal and allow it to return to it’s rest position.
7. Repeat 3-6 until pedal feels firm and no bubbles appear from the
blee nipple during bleeding.
8. Ensure reservoir is topped up, remove flexible pipe and wipe any
remaining fluid with a dry cloth.
Once correctly bled the system should not require further bleeding
more than once every three years.
