DEPRESSURISE SYSTEM
WARNING: Before bleeding the system or
working on any component in the brake
system the following procedure MUST be
carried out to depressurise the accumulator.
1. Switch off ignition.
2. Operate the brake pedal 30 times. Pedal travel
will increase slightly and reduced resistance will
be felt as pressure decreases.
3. Wait for 60 seconds, press the brake pedal four
more times. This procedure will ensure that all
pressure is evacuated from the system.
