Bleeding Procedures: Notes
CAUTION:
Cover bleeder with waste cloth, when loosening it, to prevent brake fluid from being splashed over surrounding parts. Do not allow dirt or dust to enter the reservoir tank. Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid to prevent degrading the quality of the brake fluid.
NOTE:
Start with brakes (wheels) connecting to the secondary chamber of the master cylinder.
NOTE:
The time interval between 2 brake pedal operations (from the time the pedal is released to the time when it is depressed another time) shall be approximately 3 seconds.
NOTE:
The air bleeder on each brake shall be released for one to 2 seconds.
NOTE:
During bleeding operation, keep the brake reserve tank filled with brake fluid to eliminate entry of air. Brake pedal operating must be very slow. For convenience and safety, it is advisable to have 2 men working.
NOTE:
If the master cylinder is disassembled or reservoir tank is empty, bleed the master cylinder.
