IMPERATIVE: Use only new brake brake fluid that is not emulsified, avoid any
ingress of impurities into the hydraulic circuit.
IMPERATIVE: Do not use automatic bleeding equipment
(risk of the brake fluid
emulsifying in the hydraulic circuit).
Couple a transparent tube (5)on the bleed screw, at «c».
Submerge the end of the tube (5)in the recipient containing the brake fluid, located
below the level of the clutch slave cylinder.
Use the transparent tube (5) to act as a siphon, at «b».
WARNING: the end of the tube (5) must be submerged in the brake fluid.
Open the bleed screw at «c».
