Bleeding the brake system


This function is used when bleeding antilock brake systems (ABS). This is only necessary when at least one of the chambers in the brake fluid reservoir has been emptied, or when changing the brake fluid.

Note:

At bleeding or changing of brake fluid, approx 2 litres of brake fluid is required.

The bleeding should be done by the user in a sequence of several steps. Manual brake bleeding should be performed before this function.

To avoid overload of the ABS-pump, both wheels on the same axle should be bled simultaneously.
