Before Bleeding Brakes
Bleed brake system in following order:
1. Master cylinder (if necessary)
2. ABS controller (if necessary)
3. Wheel cylinders and calipers in manufacturer recommended order.
Bleeding Brakes
1. Park vehicle on level surface and apply vehicle’s emergency brake.
2. Make sure master cylinder reservoir is full of manufacturer specified brake fluid and more new fluid is available to top off reservoir during
bleeding procedure. Also be sure to clean off bleeder fittings before beginning bleeding procedure.
3. Remove bleeder fitting cap and place wrench on the nut of the bleeder screw.
4. Connect Brake Tube w/ Rubber Fitting (N) to vehicle’s bleed screw. (Note: Refer to manufacturer’s manual for proper bleed order. Typically, you should bleed brakes from farthest from master cylinder to closest.)
5. Insert Main Suction Tube (P) into Fluid Inlet Coupler (G).
6. Connect Main Suction Tube (P) to Brake Bleeding Tube (N).
7. Make sure Air Valve (F) is in the closed position. Connect the air hose to the Air Valve and turn on the air compressor.
8. Turn Air Valve (F) to the open position and press the Push Button (E).
9. Open the bleeder screw slightly, just enough to cause fluid to flow into the Brake Bleeding Tube (N).
10. Evacuate fluid until no air bubbles are present in the clear tube and then tighten the bleeder screw.
11. Top off master cylinder reservoir and proceed to next brake according to manufacturers bleeding order. Repeat until bleeding of all brakes has been completed.
12. When the Reservoir Tank (J) is full, the extractor will automatically shut off. If extractor does not become completely full, turn the Air Valve (F) to the off position in order to stop the extractor. Proceed to Step 18.
13. Open the bleeder screw slightly, just enough to cause fluid to flow into the Brake Bleeding Tube (N).
14. Lift Handle (A) to top position and return back to bottom position. Repeat this pumping action to create vacuum in the Reservoir Tank (J). Brake fluid will begin transferring into Reservoir Tank (J).
15. Evacuate fluid until no air bubbles are present in the clear tube and then tighten the bleeder screw.
16. Top off master cylinder reservoir and proceed to next brake according to manufacturers bleeding order. Repeat until bleeding of all brakes has been completed.
17. When brake fluid in Reservoir Tank (J) reaches “full” position, the Handle (A) of the hand pump will become difficult to depress due to backpressure in the Reservoir Tank (J). Press the Release Button (E) to return the Handle (A) to its bottom position.
Steps 18-20 are for both Manual and Pneumatic Extractors.
18. Disconnect Extracting Tube (O) and Brake Bleeding Tube w/ Rubber Fitting (N) from Fluid Inlet Coupler (G).
19. Remove Brake Bleeding Tube (N) from bleeder fitting.
20. Remove Fluid Inlet Coupler (G) from Fluid Outlet Housing (I). Properly dispose of fluids in accordance with the laws and regulations of your state.
21. Rinse the Reservoir Tank after finishing with the extractor.
