Introduction
The Capri Tools Vacuum Brake Bleeder is a lightweight pneumatic brake bleeder
designed to drain most standard and ABS brake systems effortlessly with
no spills and messes. It bleeds and flushes hydraulic brakes and clutches with
vacuum.With built-in auto cut-off feature, the Vacuum Brake Bleeder will stop
the extraction when the reservoir is full. It also features an integrated silencer
for quieter work.
Operating Instructions
NOTICE
An air compressor with 2 CFM is required to work with this tool.

2. Remove old brake fluid from master

(1) Turn on air compressor. (not supplied)
(2) Remove master cylinder reservoir cap
and insert brake bleeder nipple into the
reservoir.
(3) Depress the air flow handle to
evacuate old fluid from the reservoir.
(4) Remove bleeder nipple from the
reservoir once old fluid has been
extracted.
3. Top off master cylinder reservoir to the
maximum level with fresh brake fluid.

4. Consult the vehicle’s service manual for
the correct brake bleeding sequence.
Typically, you should start at the brake
that is furthest from the master cylinder
reservoir, usually the passenger side rear
brake. Slide the correct sized box wrench
on the bleeder screw. Push the rubber
bleeder nipple over the bleeder screw.
Operating Instructions (continued)
5. (1) Turn on air compressor. (not supplied)
(2) To apply suction, depress the air flow
handle.
(3) Move the air flow handle securing
clamp over the handle for continuous
suction.
6. To begin bleeding your brakes, loosen the
bleeder screw on the vehicle about a 1/2
turn until brake fluid draws out. Ensure
the master cylinder reservoir does not
run empty as this will introduce air to
the brake system causing your brakes
to operate improperly. Avoid this by
ensuring the master cylinder has fresh
brake uid and is topped off before
beginning bleeding your brakes.
7. Bleed the brake system until fluid runs clear and no bubbles are visible in
the bleeder hose. Close the bleeder screw to stop extraction and remove
the rubber bleeder nipple from the bleeder screw.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 6 going from the passenger side rear to the driver side
rear, passenger side front and finish with the driver side front brake, unless
otherwise specified by the vehicle’s service manual.
9. Once all brakes have been bled, check the master cylinder reservoir fluid
level. Fill to maximum level if needed and replace master cylinder cap.
10. Run the engine and depress the brake pedal to ensure firm braking. If
braking is spongy, air may be in the system and the bleeding process should
be repeated.

Maintenance And Servicing
1. Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Vacuum Brake
Bleeder. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or
broken parts, damaged hoses, loose connections, and any other condition
that may affect its safe operation. If a problem occurs, have the problem
corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
2. When cleaning: Do not clean the Vacuum Bleeder with cleaners or other
solvents not intended for use with plastic components. Use a clean cloth
and, if necessary, a mild detergent. Do not immerse the Vacuum Brake
Bleeder in any liquid.
3. When storing: Do not store fluid in the tank. Remove the extracting tank
stopper and drain fluid from the tank. Dispose of excess fluid properly,
according to federal, state, and local guidelines. Store the Vacuum Brake
Bleeder in a clean, dry location out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
The Vacuum Brake Bleeder is not extracting uid
(1) Close brake bleeder screw.
(2) Apply brakes and release a few times.
(3) Ensure air compresser capable of at least 2 CFM is connected, turned on
and brake bleeder nipple is attached to brake bleeder screw.
(4) Depress air flow handle and lock into place with securing clamp.
(5) Open bleeder screwer with wrench to extract fluid.
Where do I nd the correct brake uid type?
Refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the correct brake fluid type. It may
also be printed on the master cylinder reservoir cap.
Do I need to remove wheels from the vehicle?
If you have access and enough clearance open to the bleeder nipple through
the wheel or under the vehicle, removing the wheel may not be required.
Can I separate the lid from the tank?
The lid should not be removed from the tank body of the vacuum brake
bleeder. If it is removed, please make sure it is reattached to the tank and tightly
sealed before operating.
