6.2 BLEEDING CLUTCH SYSTEM
Hydraulic fluid is toxic and can
therefore have a damaging effect on
your health. Any direct or indirect
physical contact should therefore be
avoided. As hydraulic fluid is also
corrosive it may damage the
paintwork of the vehicle. Any
contact between hydraulic fluid and
paintwork should therefore be
avoided.
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.
Note:
Filling too quickly causes foaming, which makes
bleeding virtually impossible.
2. Fill the system via the "servo" bleed tank.
3. Connect a transparent pipe to the clutch
servo's bleed nipple. Ensure that the
hydraulic fluid is collected.
4. Open the bleed nipple two full turns.
5. As soon as no more air bubbles escape from
the transparent pipe, the bleed nipple can be
closed again.
6. Check the fluid level. See "Inspection and
adjustment".
