Fusion FWD V6-3.0L (2009)
Component Bleeding
Master Cylinder
WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that
has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice.
For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not allow the brake master cylinder to run dry during the bleeding operation. Master cylinder may be damaged if operated
without fluid, resulting in degraded braking performance. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Do not spill brake fluid on painted or plastic surfaces or damage to the surface may occur. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or
plastic surface, immediately wash the surface with water.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system is disconnected for repair or installation of new components, air can enter the system and cause spongy
brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it is correctly connected.
NOTE: When a new brake master cylinder is installed, or the system is emptied or partially emptied, it should be primed to prevent air from entering the
system.
1. Disconnect the brake tubes.
2. Install short brake tubes onto the primary and secondary ports with the ends submerged in the brake master cylinder reservoir.
3. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid.
4. Have an assistant slowly pump the brake pedal until clear fluid flows from the brake tubes, without air bubbles.
5. Remove the short brake tubes and install the master cylinder brake tubes.
