BrakeForceOne H2O - Bleeding

ENGLISH
⚠⚠
Loss of brake uid, air inclusion and damage of seals due to
caliper pistons moving off too far.
– Never pull lever without pads and rotor in place or bleeding block
mounted.
) Unscrew lock pin (2) (pic. 17).
) Take out pads.
) Clean of brake dust and other contaminations thorough with alcohol or
suitable residue free solvent.
) Put pads in correct position (pic. 18).
) Support plate is pointing outwards to braking cylinder.
) Screw new lock pin through eyelets (3) of supporting plate and tighten
it with a tightening torque of 1 N·m (9 lbf·in).
) Install wheel – be careful when placing rotors between pads.
) Adjust and close the quick release skewer.
) Pull lever rmly a couple of times.
) Make sure that rotor is centered and runs freely between pads.
) (Re)adjust caliper if neccessary (– see adjusting caliper, page 23).
) Adjust pressure point if neccessary (– see adjusting pressure point,
page 26).
⚠⚠
Danger of accident due to unintentionally low braking power
because of new pads or rotors.
– Get familiar with the braking power of new pads/rotors.
– Adjust speed when using new pads/rotors.
3.3 Bleeding

You don’t have to bleed your BFO disk brake regularly. Only bleed your
BFO disk brake if absolutely necessary (e.g. soft pressure point, new brake
hose, service after loss of uid etc.).

Please consider the following when bleeding your disk brake: We
recommend the use of a BrakeForceOne bleeding kit (the use of a different
bleeding kit is permitted if compatible). 2× Syringe (30–50 ml) with hose
and bleeding connector (M5) Furthermore: 1× BFO bleeding block, 1× BFO
braking uid (water with 20% or 40% Glysantin® G40).
⚠⚠
Irreparable damage of rotor seals/Damage of rotors beyond
repair.
– Don’t use syringe, hose or bleeding connector that came into contact
with DOT braking uid or mineral oil.
– Don’t bleed disk brake with distilled water or DOT.
⚠⚠
Irreparable damage of pads/Damage of pads beyond repair.
– Rotors or pads shouldn’t get into contact with braking uid.
) Immerse connector of the syringe (1) completely into BFO braking uid.
) Bring up syringe (1) and make sure it is completely free of air (pic. 19).
) Push in syringe (2) as far as possible.
) Remove wheel.
) Turn pressure point-setting wheel clockwise (-) until the upper edge of
the piston is aligned with the housing (pic. 20).
) Carefully lever pads apart with at and brought screwdriver or at tyre
lever until the support plate (5) of the pads is almost touching the caliper
(pic. 16).
) Remove pads (– see changing of pads, page 28) and put the bleeding
block in.
