INSTRUCTION
Brake Bleeding
1.
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.
2.
WARNING! Familiarise yourself with the hazards of brake fluid
- read manufacturers instructions on the container. Do not
touch the vehicle's brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
3.
Remove the cap of the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir. If the fluid
level is not at maximum top it up.
4.
Remove the cap assembly (6) (fig.1-A) from the replenishment
bottle and invert it within the neck of the reservoir as shown in
fig.1. The threaded outlet 'B' must be immersed in the brake
fluid. If it is not, rotate the three legged moulding 'C' (8)
clockwise towards the valve 'D' until sufficient thread is
exposed to allow the outlet to be immersed in the brake fluid.
5.
Ensure the valve is closed as shown in fig.1-D.
6.
Fill the replenishment bottle just under half full with new brake
fluid and screw the cap assembly back down onto the bottle.
Invert the bottle over your container of new brake fluid and
open the valve so that the fluid level begins to drop towards the
level marked on the bottle. As soon as the level mark is
reached close the valve.
7.
Place the bottle into the neck of the vehicle brake fluid
reservoir as shown in fig.1. and open the valve. As the brakes
are bled the fluid level in the resevoir will begin to drop and
expose the bottle outlet. Brake fluid will begin to flow from the
replenishment bottle. Once the level in the reservoir has risen
sufficiently to cover the outlet the flow will automatically stop.
8.
Connect the brake bleeder to a suitable compressed air unit.
9.
Mount the black rubber pipe (10) onto the brake nipple on the
first wheel and open the nipple about ¼ of a turn (fig.2).
10. Activate the brake bleeder's trigger (4). The vacuum created
will draw the brake fluid from the vehicle's brake system.
Continue to bleed the system until there are no air bubbles
visible in the clear tube (fig.3).
11. Close the brake nipple (fig.2).
12. Remove the rubber pipe (10) from the brake nipple.
13. Depress the trigger (4) to clear brake fluid from the clear pipe.
14. Repeat the process at each wheel in turn.
