BRAKE BLEEDING
CAUTION
Never reuse fluid that has been drained from the system.
Be sure a high level of fluid is maintained in reservoir during and after the entire
bleeding process.
Use only hydraulic brake fluid MIL-B-46176.
Make sure master cylinder is mounted securely, all fittings are tight, and reservoir is full
with proper fluid.
DO NOT depress pedal and connect pressure bleeder into reservoir adapter.
Recommended bleeding pressure is 30 psi (207 kPa) maximum.
Failure to follow these cautions may result in damage to equipment.
1.
Open wheel cylinder bleeder screw furthest from master cylinder. Most of air contained in system will escape
by this route. Close bleeder screw.
2.
Continue to next furthest bleeder screw. At each point when air bubbles disappear, close bleeder screw.
3.
Open bleeder screw at master cylinder. Actuate cylinder to remove any residual air. Tighten bleeder screw
before permitting pedal to return.
4.
Remove pressure bleeder.
5.
Actuate pedal several times. If pedal is spongy, check for system leaks and repeat bleeding process.
