● Use a pipe and a container to collect the used uid.
● Remove the bleeder screw (1) protective cover and
connect the hose to the bleed nipple with the free
end in the receptacle.
● Gently unscrew the bleeder screw (1) and the ller
cap (2).
● Repeatedly press the brake pedal until all the uid
has drained out.
● When all the uid has been drained, remove the
ller cap (2) and top up to the maximum level with
brake uid. Tighten the bleed screw (1), and then
press the brake pedal three or four times.
● Loosen the bleeder screw (1) of the calliper. Brake
uid should ow out. Retighten the bleed screw,
and repeat this step several times to feed the
circuit properly. Remember to add brake uid to the
reservoir (3) as required. Bleed the circuit so that
the brake uid owing out of the hose contains no
air bubbles.
● Retighten the calliper bleed screw (1), remove the
pipe and reapply the protective cap.
● Top up the uid in the reservoir (3) to its maximum
level, and retighten the cap (2).
●● We●recommend●that●you●drain●and●rell●the●
brake●circuit●after●every●brake●pad●change.●
This●will●allow●you●to●maintain●optimum●
braking●performance.
●● To●bleed●your●brake●system●more●rapidly,●
especially●for●a●big●eet,●we●recommend●
the●priming●system●SODIKART●(Ref.●
OU951.002).

Store●the●used●brake●uid●in●labelled●

container●that●has●been●stored●in●good●
conditions●and●is●recent.
●● Check●that●the●pedal●is●rm●after●each●
bleed.
► An air bubble in the brake system can
lead to a partial or total lost of brakes
and may lead to a serious or even fatal
injury.
► Leaks in the brake system may lead to a
serious or even fatal injury.
► Moisture in the brake uid may cause
vapour lock and a sudden loss of
braking power, may lead to a serious or
even fatal injury.
► Use brake uid DOT 4 only
► Test the brake after each bleed.
