Brake Fluid, Bleeding: Notes

Brake Hydraulic System, Bleeding

CAUTION:

Brake fluid is poisonous.

It must never be extracted using suction by mouth through a hose.
If brake fluid contacts skin or eyes, flush or wash adequately to prevent irritation. Get medical attention if necessary.
It must be disposed of properly.

WARNING:

Use only fresh brake fluid conforming to US Standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
Genuine VW/Audi brake fluid conforms to this specification.
Brake fluid must not be allowed to come into contact with the paintwork because of its caustic effect.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, in other words it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, and should therefore always be kept in airtight containers.

-- Connect US 1116; open the bleeder screws in the specified sequence and bleed brake calipers.

Collect the used brake fluid with the bleeder bottle which is part of the bleeder appliance.
