5. OPERATION
5.1. BRAKE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
5.1.1. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for brake bleeding and wheel sequence before proceeding.
WARNING! Familiarise yourself with the hazards of brake uid - read manufacturers instructions on the container. DO NOT touch the
vehicle’s brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
5.1.2. Remove the cap of the vehicle’s brake uid reservoir. If the uid level is not at maximum top it up.
5.1.3. Remove the cap assembly (g.1-A) from the replenishment bottle and invert it within the neck of the reservoir as shown in g.1. The
threaded outlet ‘B’ must be immersed in the brake uid. If it is not, rotate the three legged moulding ‘C’ clockwise towards the valve ‘D’
until sufcient thread is exposed to allow the outlet to be immersed in the brake uid.
5.1.4. Ensure the valve is closed as shown in g.1-D.
5.1.5. Fill the replenishment bottle just under half full with new brake uid and screw the cap assembly back down onto the bottle. Invert
the bottle over your container of new brake uid and open the valve so that the uid level begins to drop towards the level marked on
the bottle. As soon as the level mark is reached close the valve.
5.1.6. Place the bottle into the neck of the vehicle brake uid reservoir as shown in g.1. and open the valve. As the brakes are bled the uid
level in the reservoir will begin to drop and expose the bottle outlet. Brake uid will begin to ow from the replenishment bottle. Once
the level in the reservoir has risen sufciently to cover the outlet the ow will automatically stop.
5.1.7. Connect the brake bleeder to a suitable compressed air supply.
5.1.8. Mount the black rubber pipe onto the brake nipple on the rst wheel and open the nipple about ¼ of a turn (g.2).
5.1.9. Activate the brake bleeder’s trigger. The vacuum created will draw the brake uid from the vehicle’s brake system.
5.1.10. Continue to bleed the system until there are no air bubbles visible in the clear tube (g.3).
5.1.11. Close the brake nipple (g.2).
5.1.12. Remove the rubber pipe from the brake nipple.
5.1.13. Depress the trigger to clear brake uid from the clear pipe.
5.1.14. Repeat the process at each wheel in turn.
5.2. CHANGING THE BRAKE FLUID
5.2.1. Repeat the brake bleeding procedure as described above. As the uid is being completely changed regularly check the level in the
replenishment bottle.
5.2.2. When new uid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the brake nipple.
5.2.3. Repeat this procedure at every wheel. When brake bleeding and/or uid changing is complete, test the action of the brake pedal to
ensure that the brakes are working correctly, before driving the vehicle on the road.
