FLUID FILLING/AIR BLEEDING
FRONT BRAKE LINE
• Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
•
Do
not mix different types of fluid. They are not
compatible.
Be careful
not
to
Fill the master cylinder reservoir with DOT 3 or DOT 4
confuse with the
brake fluid from the sealed container
to
the upper level.
CBS brake line
bleed valve.
Connect a commercially available brake bleeder [1] to
the front brake line bleed valve [2].
Operate the brake bleeder and loosen the front brake
line bleed valve.
• If
an
automatic refill system
is
not used,
add
brake
fluid when the fluid level
in
the reservoir
is
low.
Check the fluid level often while bleeding the brake
to prevent air from being pumped into the system.
• When using a brake bleeder, follow the
manufacturer's operating instructions.
• If air
is
entering the bleeder around the bleed valve
threads, seal the threads with teflon tape.
Close the bleed valve.
Perform the bleeding procedure until the system
is
completely bled.
After bleeding the system completely, tighten the front
brake line bleed valve
to
the specified torque.
TORQUE: 5.4 N·m (0.55 kgf·m, 4.4 lbMt)
If the brake bleeder
is
not available, perform the
following procedure.
Fill the master cylinder reservoir with DOT 3 or DOT 4
brake fluid from the sealed container to the upper level.
Pump
up
the system pressure with the brake lever until
the lever resi?tance
is
felt.
Connect a bleed hose
[1]
to
the bleed valve
[2]
and
bleed the system
as
follows:
•
Do
not release the brake lever until the bleed valve
has been closed.
• Check the fluid level often while bleeding the brake
to prevent air from being pumped into the system.
1.
Squeeze the brake lever all the way
and
loosen the
bleed valve 1/2 of a turn. Wait several seconds and
then close the bleed valve.
2.
Release the brake lever slowly and wait several
seconds after it reaches the end
of
its travel.
3.
Repeat the steps 1 and 2 until there are
no
air
bubbles
in
the bleed hose.
After bleeding the system completely, tighten the bleed
valve to the specified torque.
