WARNING
Bleed the brake system if:
The system has been disassembled.
A brake hose has been loosened or
removed.
The brake fluid is very low.
The brake operation is faulty.

may occur if the brake system is not prop-
erly bled.
1. Remove:
Brake master cylinder cap
Diaphragm
2. Bleed:
Brake fluid
Air bleeding steps:
a. Add proper brake fluid to the reservoir.
b. Install the diaphragm. Be careful not to
spill any fluid or allow the reservoir to
overflow.
c. Connect the clear plastic tube 2 tightly
