3. Identify the brake bleeding tube
which has a blue flexible plastic
brake nipple connector at one
end and a black rubber adaptor
at the other.
4. Connect the brake bleeding tube
(M) to the top of the fluid
extractor tank by pushing the
black rubber adaptor into the
fluid inlet coupling.
5. Push the blue flexible plastic brake
nipple connector onto the brake nipple on the first wheel and open the
nipple about 1/4 of a turn.
6. Operate the pump. A vacuum will be created which will draw the brake
fluid from the vehicles brake system. Operate the unit for a few seconds
only to avoid draining the vehicles brake fluid reservoir entirely.
IMPORTANT: Check the level of brake fluid in the vehicles reservoir and top
up regularly as required. If possible a reservoir top up device should be
fitted to the brake fluid reservoir.
7. Continue to bleed the system and top up the vehicle reservoir until there
are no air bubbles visible in the clear tube.
8. Close the brake nipple and remove the rubber pipe.
9. Repeat the process at each wheel in turn.
CHANGING THE BRAKE FLUID
1. Repeat the brake bleeding procedure as described until the master
cylinder reservoir is at its minimum level.
2. Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid and continue to bleed the system.
• Check the reservoir level regularly.
3. When new fluid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the brake nipple.
4. Repeat this procedure at every wheel.
• When brake bleeding and/or fluid changing is complete, test the
action of the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are working
correctly 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
nipples when the brakes are next bled.
