4. Setup

- Ensure both clear hoses are securely attached to the metallic non-return valve.
- Position the motorcycle or scooter on a stable, level surface.
- Locate the brake or clutch master cylinder reservoir and ensure it is filled to the appropriate level with the correct type of brake fluid.
- Identify the bleed nipple on the caliper or slave cylinder you intend to bleed.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Follow these steps for effective one-person brake or clutch bleeding:
- Prepare the Bleeder: Attach one end of the clear hose from the MS014 bleeder securely over the bleed nipple. Ensure the non-return valve is oriented correctly, with the arrow pointing away from the bleed nipple (towards the waste fluid container).
- Prepare for Fluid Collection: Place the free end of the bleeder hose into a suitable container to collect the old brake fluid.
- Open Bleed Nipple: Using an appropriate wrench, carefully open the bleed nipple by approximately a quarter to half a turn.
- Operate Lever/Pedal: Slowly and fully depress the brake lever or pedal. Hold it in the depressed position.
- Observe Fluid Flow: Fluid and air bubbles will be expelled through the hose and past the non-return valve into the waste container. The non-return valve prevents air from being drawn back into the system when the lever/pedal is released.
- Release Lever/Pedal: Once the lever/pedal is fully depressed, slowly release it. Do not release it quickly.
- Irrepeti l-Proċess: Continue to depress and release the lever/pedal slowly until no more air bubbles are visible in the fluid flowing through the clear hose.
- Monitoraġġ tal-Livell tal-Fluwidu: Throughout the bleeding process, regularly check the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. Top up with new brake fluid as necessary to prevent air from entering the system through the reservoir.
- Close Bleed Nipple: With the brake lever or pedal fully depressed, tighten the bleed nipple securely. Do not overtighten.
- Kontrolli Finali: Release the brake lever/pedal. Check for firm brake/clutch feel. If the feel is spongy, repeat the bleeding process. Ensure the master cylinder reservoir is filled to the correct level and the cap is securely replaced.
6. Manutenzjoni
- After each use, thoroughly clean the MS014 brake bleeder with clean water to remove any residual brake fluid.
- Inspect the hoses for cracks, hardening, or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Store the tool in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7 Issolvi l-problemi
- Air still present in the system: Ensure all connections are tight. Verify the non-return valve is oriented correctly. Repeat the bleeding procedure carefully, ensuring the master cylinder reservoir does not run dry.
- Fluid not flowing: Check that the bleed nipple is sufficiently open. Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the hose.
- Non-return valve not functioning: Inspect the valve for debris or damage. If the valve is faulty, the unit may need replacement.
