2. INTRODUCTION
One-person pressure brake and clutch bleeding system suitable for the professional workshop. Low pressure tank (20-40psi) can be pre-charged
with compressed air, making the unit fully portable. Large reservoir means reduced risk of running the system dry during bleeding process or
complete fluid change. Suitable for use on ABS systems. Features a long delivery hose for operation with a low level ramp, and long reach handle
for easy mobility. Supplied with a range of European, Japanese and US vehicle adaptors. Compatible with DOT 3.0, 4.0, 4.0LV and 5.1 Poly-Glycol

5. AIR SUPPLY
5.1. Recommended hook up is shown in g.2.
5.2. You will require an air pressure of 40psi and air ow according to
specication.
5.3. Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 40psi. Too
high a pressure and/or unclean air may damage the diaphragm
and will shorten the product life due to excessive wear and may
cause damage and/or personal injury.
5.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the unit
and invalidate your warranty.
5.5. The minimum hose diameter should be ¼” I.D and ttings must
have the same internal dimensions.
5.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for
wear and make certain that all connections are secure.

6. OPERATION
6.1. BRAKE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
6.1.1. 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.
 WARNING! Familiarise yourself with the hazards of brake uid - read manufacturer’s instructions on the container.
DO NOT touch the vehicle’s brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
6.1.2. Check that the pressure release valve (fig.3.1) is open and that there is no pressure within the unit. Unscrew the filler cap (fig.1.1) on the
unit and top up to full capacity with new brake fluid. Replace filler cap and close the pressure release valve.
 WARNING! Do not allow the uid capacity within the unit to fall below ½ litre during the bleeding process otherwise air may
enter the system.
NOTE: The diaphragm may be visible from the neck of the filler and will require deflating before filling, this can be done by pushing
down on the diaphragm with a clean blunt instrument.
6.1.3. Check that the air regulator (fig.3.2) is turned fully anticlockwise, the air intake valve (fig.3.3) and the fluid supply pipe valve (fig.1.3) are in
the closed positions.
6.1.4. Connect the brake bleeder (fig.3.4) to a suitable compressed air supply.
6.1.5. Slowly open the air intake valve (fig.3.3) and turn the air regulator clockwise until a pressure of 20psi is registered on the pressure
gauge (fig1.2).
NOTE: The brake bleeder can be used remotely by closing the air supply valve once the unit has been charged with air and then
disconnect the air supply.
8DO NOT exceed the maximum pressure of 40psi, if the unit exceeds this pressure the safety valve (fig.3.5) will be activated.
6.1.6. Connect one of the adaptors to the end of the fluid supply pipe and hold over a waste oil container, slowly open the valve (fig.1.3) to
release air from the supply pipe. When brake fluid is free flowing, close the valve.
6.1.7. Remove the cap on the vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir. If the brake fluid level is not at maximum, top it up and select a suitable adaptor
for the vehicle. In some cases a universal adaptor will be required, see section 6.3. Tighten the adaptor onto the master cylinder
ensuring that a good seal is achieved (fig.4).
6.1.8. Connect the fluid supply pipe quick connector to the adaptor and slowly open the valve (fig.1.3) to pressurise the system.
6.1.9. Starting with the brake furthest away from the master cylinder connect the tube from the bleeding bottle to the nipple and using a brake
spanner open the nipple approximately ¼ turn (g.5), brake uid will ow through the clear pipe into the bottle, when there are no
visible bubbles tighten the bleed nipple.
6.1.10. Repeat the process at each wheel in turn as necessary.
6.1.11. To remove the brake bleeder, shut off the uid supply pipe valve (g.1.3), close the air intake valve (g.3.3) and open the pressure
release valve to de-pressurize the unit.
6.1.12. Disconnect the uid supply pipe from the adaptor, taking care not to spill any brake uid and remove the adaptor from the brake uid
reservoir. Any excess uid in the reservoir should be removed using the syringe and disposed of into a suitable waste oil
container.
6.1.13. Ret the original brake uid reservoir cap.
6.1.14. Changing the brake uid.
6.1.15. Carry out the brake bleeding procedure as described above.
6.1.16. When new uid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the brake nipple.
6.1.17. Repeat this procedure at each wheel in turn.
6.1.18. Disconnect as above (6.1.10 & 6.1.11).
NOTE: When brake bleeding and/or uid changing is complete, test the action of the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are working
and are not spongy before using the vehicle on the road.
6.2. CLUTCH BLEEDING PROCEDURE
6.2.1. Refer to the relevant vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for clutch bleeding procedure. If no specic instructions from the
vehicle manufacturer exist, the same procedures as for brake bleeding should be followed.

6.3. UNIVERSAL ADAPTORS
6.3.1. Universal adapters can be fitted to brake or clutch master cylinder fluid reservoirs using the universal adapter clamps, the two hook
bolts and chains. Wrap the chain around the brake or clutch master cylinder and locate through the two holes in the adaptor and the
two slots in the clamp, take out the slack in the chain using the nuts and then tighten the clamp to seal the adaptor to the master
cylinder (fig.6).
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1. Ensure that the unit is de-pressurized before carrying out any maintenance and drain all fluids from the main tank and from the fluid
supply tube.
7.2. Clean up any spilled brake fluid and wipe down with a clean cloth.
7.3. Store in a clean, dry and childproof location.
