Bleeding the hydraulic circuit

Bleed the system after any operation that involved opening the circuit.

As a general rule, bleeding must be carried out when the pedal feels 'spongy' and when the pedal must be pumped several times to obtain effective braking.

Wherever possible, the use of a pressure bleeding unit is recommended.

However, as an emergency measure, the 'pedal' bleeding method, which requires a second person, may be used, but its effectiveness is not guaranteed.

• Connect a bleeding unit.
• Bleed according to the unit's instructions, without exceeding 2 bar.
• Open the bleed screws in the following order:

• rear right wheel,
• rear left wheel,
• front right wheel,
• front left wheel.

• Check and correct the brake fluid level if necessary.
• Tighten the bleed screws to torque.
• Check the system for leaks.
