OPERATION
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! Familiarize 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. Remove the cap of the vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir. If the brake fluid level is not at maximum, top it up. 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.
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.
NOTE: Apply copper grease to the brake bleeding nipples before and after
the brake bleeding procedure to reduce the possibility of seized or broken
nipples when the brakes are next bled (fig.5).
Connect the brake bleeder to a suitable compressed air supply.
Connect the rubber adaptor onto the brake nipple on the first wheel and open
the nipple about one quarter of a turn (fig.3).
Activate the brake bleeder’s valve. The vacuum created will draw the brake
fluid from the vehicle’s brake system.
Continue to bleed the system until there are no air bubbles visible in the
clear tube (fig.4).
Retighten the brake nipple and close the bleeder’s valve (fig.3).
Remove the rubber adaptor from the brake nipple.
Open the valve on the brake bleeder to remove any brake fluid from the clear
pipe.
Repeat the process at each wheel in turn as necessary.
CHANGING THE BRAKE FLUID
Carry out the brake bleeding procedure as described above. As the fluid is
being completely changed, regularly check the level in the replenishment
bottle.
When new fluid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the brake nipple.
Repeat this procedure at each wheel in turn.
When brake bleeding and/or fluid 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.
CLUTCH BLEEDING PROCEDURE
Refer to the relevant vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for clutch bleeding
procedure. If no specific instructions from the vehicle manufacturer exist,
the instructions basically follow the same procedure as the brake bleeding
instructions in steps through to
