Brake bleeding procedure.
Do not touch the vehicle’s brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for brake bleeding and wheel sequence before proceeding. If no specific instructions from
the vehicle manufacturer exist, follow the instructions detailed below.
WARNING! Familiarise yourself with the hazards of brake fluid - read manufacturer’s instructions on the container.
4.1.
Remove the lid of the vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir. (See fig.1)
4.2.
Connect the brake bleeder to a suitable compressed air unit.
4.3.
Mount the black rubber pipe onto the brake nipple on the first wheel and open the nipple about 1/4 of a turn. (See fig.2)
4.4.
Activate the brake bleeder’s trigger. The vacuum created will draw the brake fluid from the vehicle’s brake system. (See fig.3)
4.5.
Check the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir and top up if necessary.
4.6.
Continue to bleed the system and top up the reservoir until there are no air bubbles visible in the clear tube. (See fig.4)

Close the brake nipple. (See fig.2)

Changing the brake fluid
4.12.
Repeat the brake bleeding procedure as described above until the master cylinder reservoir is at its minimum level. Fill the reservoir with
new brake fluid and continue to bleed the system. Check reservoir level regularly.
4.13.
When new fluid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the brake nipple.
4.14.
Repeat this procedure at every wheel.
WARNING:
When brake bleeding and/or fluid changing is complete, test action of brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are working
before driving the vehicle.

Apply copper grease to the brake bleed nipples before and after the brake bleeding procedure to eliminate the possibility of seized or
broken nipples when the brakes are next bled. (See fig.5)
