1.Attacha3in.VacuumHose(5)tothebottomoftheJarLid(2a).(SeeFigureA.)
2.Attacha23in.VacuumHose(4)tothetopoftheJarLid(2a)marked“TOPUMP”.
Then, attach the other end of the 23 in. Vacuum Hose to the Brake Bleeder
VacuumPump(1).SeeFigureA.)
3.FirmlyattachtheJarLid(2a)totheReservoirJar(3).(SeeFigureA.)
4.Removethecapfromthevehicle’smastercylinder,andchecktomakesurethe

manual (i.e., right rear wheel, left rear wheel, right front wheel, left front wheel).
5.Connectthe23in.VacuumHose(4)totheremainingportontheJarLid(2a)and
thenconnecttheotherendtotheBrakeBleederScrewAdapter(9).
6. Squeeze the Handle of the Brake Bleeder/Vacuum Pump (1) 10 to 15 times to
createavacuuminitsReservoirJar(3).
NOTE: The Gauge on the Brake Bleeder/Vacuum Pump should read at approximately
10 in./Hg. Do not exceed 20 in./Hg. A greater vacuum could damage the vehicle’s
brake system.
