6.2 BLEEDING THE CLUTCH SYSTEM
Hydraulic fluid is toxic and can have
a damaging effect on your health.
Direct or indirect physical contact
should therefore be avoided.
As hydraulic fluid is also a
corrosive fluid, it may damage the
paintwork of the vehicle. Avoid any
contact between hydraulic fluid and
paintwork.
Always use new and clean hydraulic
fluid which has been kept in a
sealed container that meets the
specifications.
Hydraulic fluid which has absorbed
water (from the ambient air) may
have an adverse effect on the
operation of the clutch system.
Avoid any contact with mineral oil.
Even one drop of mineral oil in the
system will damage the seals.
Bleeding the clutch system using the
“servo” bleed tank
1. Connect the “servo” bleed tank to the
reservoir.
2. Note:
Filling too quickly causes foaming, which
makes bleeding virtually impossible.
Fill the system via the “servo” bleed tank.
3. Connect a transparent pipe to the clutch
servo’s bleed nipple.
Insertthepipeintoajar.
4. Open the bleed nipple two full turns.
As soon as no more air bubbles escape
from the transparent pipe, the bleed nipple
can be closed again.
5. Check the fluid level. See “Inspection and
adjustment”.
