ENGINE
DRAINING, FILLING AND BLEEDING THE ENGINE COOLING CIRCUIT
Reclose the bleed screw when the fluid flows out clear and without air bubbles.
Start the engine.
Maintain an engine speed of 1500/2500 rpm, up to the first cooling cycle (starting and stopping of
the cooling fan).
Block the filling cylinder [1]using the control rod [3].
Remove the filling cylinder assembly [1], [3]and [2].
Refit the header tank cap.
Stop the engine and wait for it to cool down.
Checks.
Start the engine.
Maintain an engine speed of 1500/2500 rpm, up to the first cooling cycle (starting and stopping of
the cooling fan).
Stop the engine and wait for it to cool down.
Remove the header tank cap with caution.
If necessary, top up the level to the maximum mark.
Refit the header tank cap.

DRAINING, FILLING AND BLEEDING THE ENGINE COOLING CIRCUIT
Filling and bleeding.
Open the bleed screw (2)on the heater matrix hose.
Open the bleed screw (3)of the engine cooling radiator.
Refit the drain screw (1)with a new seal.
Tighten the screw (1) : 3 ± 0,1.
Fit the filling cylinder [1], control rod [3]and adaptor [2]assembly on the filler
aperture.
Fill the engine cooling circuit.
NOTE:Keep the filling cylinder full to the maximum.
Start the engine.
Close each bleed screw as soon as the liquid starts to flow out without air
bubbles.
Block the filling cylinder [1], using the control rod [3].
Remove the filling cylinder [1], control rod [3]and adaptor [2] assembly.
Refit the header tank cap.
Stop the engine.
Checks.
Start the engine.
Maintain an engine speed of 1600 rpm, up to the second cooling cycle (starting
and stopping of the cooling fan).
Stop the engine and wait for it to cool down.

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.
