is connected properly and is leak-tight. If brake fluid
escapes, switch off the brake maintenance device
immediately and find out the cause.

Now bleed the brakes one after the other beginning
with the back right and ending with the front left brake.
To do so, open the valve on each wheel brake cylinder.
Collect the old brake fluid in the collecting bottle. The
valve can be closed again as soon as the new brake
fluid escapes from the drain hole bubble-free.

Turn off the brake maintenance device by pressing

Check the manometer to see if the pressure has fallen.
Note: The brake maintenance device usually decrea-
ses the existing pressure. However, if the pressure was
reduced during the filling process, the pressure
remains. This means it does not drop to 0 bar. The
pressure control must first be released of pressure. To
do so, turn the pressure control to the right after
switching off until the point of release has been
reached. The working pressure falls to 0 bar.

Disconnect the pressure-free filling hose
adapter.

The brake fluid vessel is now full to the top. By using a
suitable pipette, remove as much brake fluid as is
necessary until the brake fluid reaches permitted fill
level in the vessel ( ). Alternatively, you can also use
A
the suction function (see section "Bleeding brake fluid").
It It is not necessary to remove fluid when using a
special adapter with suppressor plug ( ).

Dismantle adapter and close brake fluid vessel.
Important:
Should it turn out that after the bleeding
process or after changing brake fluid the path of
actuation on the brake or clutch pedal is too long, or the
build up of pressure is too "soft", the braking or clutch
system must be bled again after powerfully activating the
brake or clutch several times.
This brake maintenance device enables you to test the
braking system for leaks (e.g. secondary muffs) and the
ease of motion of the brake pistons after changing the fluid.
Prerequisites: The overall system is bubble-free and
connected to the filling hose and the brake maintenance
device has a working pressure of 2 bar, or has reached the
permitted pressure.
• Now close the stop valve
brake maintenance device at switch .
• Wait a few minutes to make sure the pressure shown on
the manometer is falling. If it falls more than 0.2 bar on
8
the scale, then the braking system must have a leak.
Thus perform the appropriate visual inspections and
measures.
• The proof of the ease of motion of the brake pistons is
the blocked wheels at as low a pressure as 2 bar.
Important:
Before dismantling the adapter, the stop
valve must be opened and the pressure released.

Countermeasure
• Change vessels
• Set correct working pressure
(e.g. 2 bar)
• Remove dent, replace damaged
hose where necessary
• Bleed brake maintenance device as
per initial operation
• Open stop valve
