insert a rubber pipe to collect the brake fluid.
- With the left-hand brake lever, load the system
and bring it up to the required pressure.
- Keeping the left-hand brake lever pulled, loosen
the bleed screw to permit the air in the system to
escape.
- Repeat the operation until only brake fluid comes
out of the rubber pipe.
- Tighten the bleed screw.
- Remove the fluid recovery pipe and refit the rub-
ber cap over the bleed screw.
- Top up the brake fluid to the right level in the res-

special vacuum pump
N.B.
DURING THE BLEEDING OPERATIONS, MAKE
SURE THE BRAKE FLUID DOES NOT COME
INTO CONTACT WITH THE BODYWORK SO AS
NOT TO DAMAGE IT. FURTHERMORE, DUR-
ING THE BLEEDING OPERATIONS REGARD-
ING THE BRAKE CALLIPERS, MAKE SURE
THE BRAKE FLUID DOES NOT COME INTO
CONTACT WITH THE DISC BRAKES AND
WITH THE BRAKE PADS. FAILURE TO COM-
PLY WITH THIS NORM WILL ENDANGER THE
PROPER WORKING AND EFFICIENCY OF THE
BRAKING SYSTEM
