BLEEDING
Caution
Specified brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT4
Always use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mixture
of the specified brake fluid and other fluid.
MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING
The master cylinder used has no check valve, so if bleeding
is carried out by the following procedure, bleeding of air from
the brake pipeline will become easier. (When brake fluid is
not contained in the master cylinder.)
1. Fill the reserve tank with brake fluid.
2. Keep the brake pedal depressed.
3. Have another person cover the master cylinder outlet with
a finger.
4. With the outlet still closed, release the brake pedal.
5. Repeat steps 2 ± 4 three or four times to fill the inside
of the master cylinder with brake fluid.
BRAKE PIPE LINE BLEEDING
Bleed the air in the sequence shown in the figure.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CHECK
The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is
no continuity when the float surface is above ªMINº and if
there is continuity when the float surface is below ªMINº.
