BLEEDING

NOTICE:
-

Do not allow brake fluid to adhere to any painted surface such as the vehicle body. If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface,
immediately wash it off.

-

Before bleeding the brake system, confirm that the reservoir located above the master cylinder assembly is filled with brake fluid.

HINT:  If any component of the brake system is removed and reinstalled, or if air in the brake lines is suspected, bleed the brake system.
