BLEEDING

must
be
bled
if

has
been

opened
at

any

if

the
level
of
the
fluid
in
the
master

cylinder
reservoir
has
fallen
too

Bleeding
is

usually
a
two
man

operation
as
assistance
will

be

required
to
work

reservoir
must
be

topped

up
constantly
throughout
the

operation

whilst
a

be
carried
