Bleeding the braking system
VEHICLE PREPARATION
•
It is important to check that there is always enough brake fluid in the reservoir.
•
Using a bleed device facilitates these operations while, in the meantime, the "Brake fluid
replacement" operations are performed.
•
In this case, the bleed process must be accompanied by further pedal strokes and with the
bleed device connected (about 5 for each wheel circuit).
BRAKE PUMP REPLACEMENT
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
•
Replace the damaged brake pump with a new one.
•
Connect the brake pipe to the new brake pump.
•
Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid.
CAUTION
PERFORM THE REGULAR BRAKING SYSTEM BLEEDING, AS DESCRIBED AT THE END OF THE
CHAPTER.
•
Always fill the reservoir up to the reference "MAX" and refit the cap.
•
Check the stroke and the sensitivity of both the lever and the brake pedal.
•
If, after bleeding, the pedal or the lever stroke is too long, check that there are no leaks in
the braking system and if everything is ok, continue bleeding operations using Navigator as
described.
•
Detach the bleed hoses and close the bleed screws again to the correct tightening torque.
