● Use a pipe and a container to collect the used uid.
● Remove the protective caps from the bleed screws
(1) on each front calliper, and then place a hose on
the bleed screw. The other end of the hose should
be placed in an empty container.
● Gently unscrew the bleeder (1) screw and the ller
cap (2).
● Apply the brake lever (3) repeatedly until all the
brake 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 lever (3) three or four times.
● Loosen the bleeder screw (1) of the front right
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 (4) 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.
● Repeat the operation for the front left calliper.
● Top up the brake uid in the reservoir (4) 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●
containers●until●it●is●collected●by●a●specialist●
waste●disposal●company.
●● The●brake●liquid●doesn’t●contain●petrol,●so●
never●pour●the●liquid●into●a●using●oil●tank.
●● Brake●uid●absorbs●water●Make●sure●the●

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.
