to allow air bubbles in the brake
system to escape out.
✰ Check the fluid level and top up to
“MAX” level and refit the diaphragm
and the top cover and tighten with
the screws.
✰ Check for any leaks at the banjo or
the bleeding screw area and ensure
all mounting bolts are tightened to
the correct torque.
BLEEDING PROCEEDURE
REVERSE BLEEDING METHOD:
P Ensure the bleeding screw and the
brake hose banjo is fully tight.
✰ Fill the master cylinder with brake
fluid from a sealed container, till the
“Max” level.
✰ Depress the brake lever completely
and release fully so as to allow the
fluid to travel into the brake hose
and the wheel caliper.
✰ When the bleeder screw is loosened
and the air escapes out along with
the brake fluid through the bleeder
nipple, the brake lever will further
depress. Allow the lever to depress
fully and hold.
