Master Cylinder Priming - In Vehicle or Bench
WARNING: BRAKE FLUID CONTAINS POLYGLYCOL ETHERS AND POLYGLYCOLS. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. WASH
HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. IF BRAKE FLUID CONTACTS EYES, FLUSH EYES WITH RUNNING WATER FOR 15
MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. IF TAKEN INTERNALLY, DRINK WATER AND INDUCE
VOMITING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
CAUTION:
-
Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir filled with
the specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
-
Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
NOTE:
-
When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air can enter the system and cause spongy brake pedal
action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been properly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled manually or with
pressure bleeding equipment.
-
When the brake master cylinder has been replaced or the system has been emptied, or partially emptied, it should be primed to prevent air from
entering the system.
1. For in-vehicle priming, disconnect the brake lines.
