3.1. Brake bleeding procedure.
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. Do not touch the vehicle’s
brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
3.1.1. Remove the cap of the vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir. If the brake fluid level is not at maximum, top it up.
3.1.2. Fill the replenishment bottle to just under half full with new brake fluid, then screw the cap assembly onto the replenishment bottle. Invert the bottle over the
container of new brake fluid and open the valve ‘D’ 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.
3.1.3. Screw on an appropriate size three legged adaptor that fits into the top of the brake fluid reservoir. Ensure valve ‘D’ is closed, and invert the replenishment
bottle within the neck of the brake fluid reservoir as shown in fig.1. The threaded outlet ‘B’ must be immersed in the brake fluid. If it is not, screw the three
legged adaptor ‘C’ clockwise towards the valve ‘D’ until sufficient thread is exposed to allow the outlet to be immersed in the brake fluid. Open the valve
‘D’ as in fig.2. As the brakes are bled, the fluid level in the reservoir 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. Depending on the amount of
brake fluid bled from the system, the bottle may need to be filled again from time to time.
The VS0202 workshop vacuum brake and clutch bleeder enables simple, one-man operation using standard workshop air supply (90 to 120psi).
Professional, quick, clean and efficient. Large capacity for the busy workshop. Draws fluid from the bleed nipple enabling either bleeding or full replacement of
fluid in system. Vacuum gauge for accurate vacuum application. Seperate cap for easy emptying. Long lasting silicon rubber hose for ultra flexibility. Includes
reservoir top-up kit and adaptors.
