Air Bleeding: Procedure: Notes

CAUTION:
  • The FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid must be used.
  • Cover bleeder with waste cloth when loosening it to prevent brake fluid from being splashed over surrounding parts.
  • Avoid mixing different brands of brake fluid to prevent degrading the quality of the fluid.
  • Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to get into the reservoir tank.
  • Be extremely careful not to spill brake fluid. Brake fluid spilt on the vehicle body will harm the painted surface; wash it off quickly if spilt.
NOTE:
  • Start with the brakes (wheels) connected to the secondary chamber of the master cylinder.
  • The time interval between two brake pedal operations (from the time when the pedal is released to the time when it is depressed another time) should be approximately 3 seconds.
  • The air bleeder on each brake should be released for 1 to 2 seconds.
