Bleeding The Clutch - With Bleeding Device

In general, a minimum filling time of 90 seconds must be observed.

1. Fill the Pentosin reservoir -2-  (for the clutch actuating hydraulic system) with fresh Pentosin. Counter at the Pentosin reservoir (green lid with white edge) when opening the cap.

   Connect the bleeding device, which is filled with Pentosin  , to the reservoir (Pentosin reservoir) -2-  .

   Switch on the bleeding device and set an overpressure of approx. 1.3 bar.

2. Connect a collecting bottle (with a transparent hose) to the bleeder valve -arrow-  on the clutch slave cylinder. Then open the bleeder valve -arrow-  .

3. Move clutch pedal extremely slowly to the "Pedal fully depressed" position. When doing so, guide the pedal by hand so that it does not move forward abruptly.
4. Allow the Pentosin to rinse through for 30 seconds.
5. Afterwards, activate complete pedal travel manually 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 (at the collecting bottle with transparent hose). Then close the bleeder valve.
6. Switch off and disconnect the bleeding device. Correct the fluid level for the transparent supply tank -2-  (Pentosin hydraulic fluid/must lie between the Min. and Max. marking). Then screw on the lid. Counter the tank when doing this.

7. Activate the clutch pedal slowly, five times.
8. Fit cover -A-  over Pentosin reservoir.
