6. Remove the bleeder tube and install the cap
bleeder.
7. After completing the bleeding operation,
check the fluid level in the reservoir and
replenish if necessary.
Caution:
Do not reuse the brake fluid drained from
the system
.
Brake fluid replacement
l
Boiling point of brake fluid falls considerably
with absorption of moisture which may take
place during a long period of use. Therefore, it
is recommended to replace old brake fluid with
new one periodically.
Replace brake fl
uid every 21000 km
l
On changing brake fluid, extreme attention
should be paid so as not to mix any foreign
materials because they would block the return
port of the master cylinder resulting in the
brake dragging or squeaking.
Perform the following procedure to change the
brake fluid:
1. Attach a bleeder tube to the bleeder. Drain out
the old brake fluid by squeezing the brake lever
with bleeder opened until the brake fluid
disappears in the bleeder tube.
2. After old brake fluid is drained out from the
system completely, carry out the same
procedure as described in ‘air bleeding‘ from
the brake system.
HOSE COMPLETE BRAKE (BRAKE HOSE)
l
Inspect the hose complete brake for any crack
or leakage. If leakages found, replace the hose
as below:
l
Flush the brake fluid out by opening the
bleeder at caliper assembly with a tube on the
bleeder head to a clean container (refer brake
bleeding).
