5. Suction extraction
5.1 General information on extraction
by suction of glycol-based brake
fluid
Warning: Do not draw off any product
containing mineral oil as this will dam-
age the unit.
Make sure that the collecting bottle has
been drained before starting suction
process.
Check the level of liquid in the collect-
ing bottle during the process and drain
the bottle if necessary.
After completion of suction process,
drain the filled collecting bottle into the
special collecting container on the back
of the unit (see point 7).

The braking system cannot func-
tion if the brake fluid reservoir has
been drained! The vehicle may not
be used on the roads if the brake flu-
id reservoir has been drained. If this
warning is ignored, there is a risk of
personal and material damage due to
loss of braking system!
The pictures on page 66 show the basic
procedure for suction extraction in
order to drain a brake fluid reservoir.
6. Bleeding
6.1 General notes on bleeding
of brake systems
The bleeding instructions of the
vehicle manufacturer must always
be observed and followed!

Work on braking equipment
may only be performed by mechan-
ics with the appropriate expert
knowledge and corresponding shop
equipment. Generally, the speci-
fications contained in the original
documentation of the vehicle manu-
facturer must be followed.
The illustrations on page 67 demon-
strate the basic procedure when replac-
ing brake fluids of brake system/brake
fluid replacement.
Attention: If, after bleeding, the travel
of the brake pedal is too long after
repeated firm activation of the brake
pedal or if the pressure buildup is too
„soft", the brake system must be bled
once more according to the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
A leakage, function and action check of
the service brake system must be per-
formed after each filling, bleeding and
brake fluid replacement.
