- Keeping the right-hand brake lever pulled, loosen the bleed screw to permit the air in the system to
escape. Then tighten the bleed screw.

N.B.
DURING THE BLEEDING OPERATIONS, MAKE SURE THE BRAKE FLUID DOES NOT COME INTO
CONTACT WITH THE BODYWORK SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE IT. FURTHERMORE, DURING THE
BLEEDING OPERATIONS REGARDING THE BRAKE CALLIPERS, MAKE SURE THE BRAKE
FLUID DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE DISC BRAKES AND WITH THE BRAKE
PADS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS NORM WILL ENDANGER THE PROPER WORKING AND
EFFICIENCY OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM
