Relieving the air from the hydraulic system

RELIEVING THE AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

WARNING: Never re-use the hydraulic fluid drained during the air relieving procedure.

1. Remove the plug of the brake-clutch hydraulic circuit supply reservoir and, if necessary, top up with the specified fluid.
2. Remove the protection cap of the bleed screw on the cylinder and fit it on a hose with the opposite end dipped in a transparent recipient containing the same fluid as the circuit.
3. Slacken the bleed screw and at the same time press the clutch pedal letting it return slowly; repeat this operation until all the air bubbles have issued.
   • With the pedal fully depressed, tighten the bleed screw, remove the tube and assemble the protective cap.

During the air relieving operation, keep the level of the fluid in the reservoir above the "MIN" mark.

• Top up the level of the fluid in the reservoir and install the plug.

The brake/clutch fluid can damage the bodywork. Work carefully.

• After relieving the air, check that the clutch disengages normally and that the gears engage properly.
