4. Check Regularly for Damage: Before each use, inspect the brake bleeder for any signs of wear, cracks,
or damage. Replace worn-out parts promptly to ensure safe operation.
Maintenance
To ensure the brake bleeder remains in optimal working condition, follow these maintenance guidelines:
1. Clean the Unit Regularly:
•
After each use, thoroughly clean the brake bleeder, including the extraction tank and refill bottle.
Use a cloth to wipe down all components, removing any residual brake fluid.
•
Flush the system with clean water if necessary to remove any brake fluid residue.
2. Check for Leaks:
•
Inspect all hoses, connectors, and valves for potential leaks. Tighten any loose connections and
replace damaged components immediately to avoid fluid loss and ensure efficient operation.
3. Inspect the Air Flow System:
•
Ensure the air inlet (C) and air flow handle (A) are functioning properly. Test the system with air
pressure to confirm the flow is correct.
4. Check for Blockages:
•
Periodically check that the fluid hose and all adapters are free from blockages that may affect the
fluid flow during operation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while using the brake bleeder, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
1. No Fluid is Being Drawn into the Extraction Tank:
•
Possible Cause: The brass shut-off valve (1) may be closed.
Solution: Ensure the shut-off valve is in the correct position (horizontal for closed). Open the
valve and retry.
•
Possible Cause: Air flow handle (A) is not engaged properly.
Solution: Press down the air flow handle and ensure it is secured with the clamp (B).
2. Brake Fluid Leaks:
•
Possible Cause: Loose or damaged connections.
Solution: Check all hoses, connectors, and adaptors for proper sealing. Tighten connections or
replace damaged parts.
