Pressure Bleeding






PRESSURE BLEEDING

Use approved brake fluid. Use fresh, clean fluid from a sealed container at all times.


Follow the manufacturers instructions carefully when using pressure equipment. Do not exceed the tank manufacturers pressure recommendations. Generally, a tank pressure of 15-20 psi is sufficient for bleeding.


Fill the bleeder tank with recommended fluid and purge air from the tank lines before bleeding.


Do not pressure bleed without a proper master cylinder adapter. The wrong adapter can lead to leakage, or drawing air back into the system.
