Helpful advice. Before bleeding the brakes, inspect the brake system to make sure it is tight. Work with an assistant.
Warning! Add brake fluid only of the same grade as the fluid that was filled into the system.
The sequence of pumping the brake mechanisms:
- rear right;
- front left;
- rear left;
- front right.
1. Check the level and, if necessary, add brake fluid to the reservoir up to the mark «MAX».
2. If the rear wheels are suspended, first unlock the rear brake pressure regulator by inserting a screwdriver between the plate and the piston. Don't forget to take it out when you're done.
3. Clean the air release valve on the brake mechanism from dirt and dust.
4. Remove the protective cap from the air release valve. Place the rubber hose over the valve head and immerse the end of the hose in a clean, transparent container partially filled with brake fluid (the end of the hose must be immersed in the liquid).
5. The assistant should sharply depress the brake pedal four to five times (with an interval between pressing 1–2 s). After the last stroke, keep the pedal depressed.
6. Loosen the air release valve 1/2-3/4 turn. Air bubbles will be visible in the liquid flowing from the hose. When fluid stops flowing from the hose, fully close the air release valve, after which the assistant should release the brake pedal.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until there are no bubbles in the liquid flowing out.
Check the level of brake fluid in the reservoir and add fluid if necessary, preventing the level from dropping below the mark «MIN».
8. Remove the hose, wipe dry the air outlet valve fitting and put on the protective cap.
9. Bleed the brakes on the remaining wheels, if necessary.
