- Bleed the clutch system.
In general, a minimum filling time of 90 seconds must be observed.
Only use new Super DOT 4 class brake fluid
Procedure for bleeding:
- 1.1. Fill reservoir to its top edge with new brake fluid. Connect the bleeding device to the reservoir. → see figure below
- 1.2. Switch on the bleeding device and set an overpressure of approx. 1.3 bar.
- 1.3. Open the bleeder valve -arrow- on the clutch slave cylinder.
- 1.4. Move the pedal very slowly into the "Pedal fully depressed" position. When doing so, guide the pedal by hand so that it does not move forward abruptly.
- 1.5. Allow the brake fluid to rinse through for 30 seconds.
- 1.6. Afterwards, activate complete pedal travel with your hand very slowly for a further 60 seconds. After about 10 to 15 pedal strokes, leave the pedal in its normal position. Once this filling period has elapsed, check that no more bubbles appear at the bleeder valve (use a collecting bottle with a transparent hose). Then close the bleeder valve.
- 1.7. Switch off and disconnect the bleeding device. Check the brake fluid level. It should not be above the MAX. marking on the brake fluid reservoir.
- 1.8. Actuate the clutch pedal slowly five times.
- Fit cover over the brake fluid reservoir and install cover -A- - → INSTALLING COVER .
- Install driver's seat.
