BRAKES
BRAKE FLUID CHECKS
IMPERATIVE: Respect the safety and cleanliness requirements.
WARNING: Brake fluid is toxic to health. Avoid any contact with your skin or with your eyes. If there is contact with your eyes, rinse immedia-
tely with copious amounts of water for several minutes.
WARNING: Brake fluid is highly corrosive to paintwork. If there is spillage onto the bodywork, clean the surface immediately.
Tools: Brake fluid tester (*):
Supplier Reference Type
SURETEST TLF
DOW AUTOMOTIVE BETATEST Measures the boiling point of brake fluid
FACOM OUTILLAGE DF.16
EBT 06.1 Measures the rate of hydrometry of brake fluid
(*) The list not exhaustive, refer to the catalogue "Tools and Equipment".
Checks.
Remove the filter of the brake fluid reservoir.
IMPERATIVE: Any pollution of the brake fluid is forbidden. The brake fluid should be limpid and free of suspended matter or sediments.
Check the brake fluid, following the method recommended by the supplier of the testing equipment.
Test values:
Brake fluid Minimum boiling point «Humid»
DOT 3 140°C
DOT 4 155°C
SUPER DOT 4
180°C
DOT 5
NOTE:If the tested value is lower than the minimum "humid"boiling point or within a tolerance of +10 %of this value, replace the brake fluid
(see corresponding operation).
IMPERATIVE: Use exclusively the hydraulic fluids that are approved and recommended.

WARNING: Use only the approved and recommended hydraulic fluids.
IMPERATIVE: Only use new brake fluid that has not emulsified; avoid any introduction of
impurities into the hydraulic circuit.
Fill the brake fluid reservoir (4).
Bleeding the primary braking circuit.
WARNING: During the bleed operations: take care to maintain the level of the brake fluid in
the reservoir, keep it topped up.
WARNING: The ABS system must not be in action during the bleed operation.
WARNING: Respect the sequence for the opening of the bleed screws.
Frontbrake caliper : Bleed screw (5).

BRAKES
DRAINING, FILLING AND BLEEDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM
Using the bleeding apparatus.
Connect the bleeding apparatus [1]on the brake fluid reservoir (4).
Adjust the apparatus pressure to 2 bars.
For each brake circuit:
- Connect a transparent tube onto the bleed screw.
- Submerge the other end of the tube in a clean container.
- Open the bleed screw.
- Wait until the fluid is flowing out without air bubbles.
- Close the bleed screw.
- Remove the bleeding apparatus.
- Check the brake fluid level (should be between «DANGER»level and «MAXI»level).
- Fill if necessary with the approved and recommended synthetic brake fluid.
Without bleeding apparatus.
NOTE:Two operators are necessary.
For each brake circuit:
- Apply the brake pedal to place the circuit under pressure.
- Connect a transparent tube onto the bleed screw.
- Submerge the other end of the tube in a clean container.
- Open the bleed screw.
- Wait until the fluid is flowing out without air bubbles.
- Close the bleed screw.
NOTE:Recommence the process a second timeif that is necessary.
- Check the brake fluid level (should be between «DANGER»level and «MAXI»level).
- Fill if necessary with the approved and recommended synthetic brake fluid.
