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.
In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call: 1-800-959-3673. 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.
CAUTION: 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 the brake master cylinder has been installed new or the system has been emptied or partially emptied, it must be primed to prevent air
from entering the system.
1. Disconnect the brake outlet tubes from the master cylinder.
2. Install short brake tubes with the ends submerged in the brake master cylinder reservoir and fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean,
specified brake fluid.
3. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal until clear fluid flows from both brake tubes, without air bubbles.
