Turn on the air valve on the extractor. Press the suction start button (fig.3) to activate air operated unit or operate the pump handle on
manual models. A vacuum will be created which will draw the brake fluid from the vehicle's brake system. operate the unit for a few
seconds only to avoid draining the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir entirely.
IMpORTANT: Check the level of brake fluid in the vehicle's reservoir and top up regularly. If possible a reservoir top up device should be
fitted to the brake fluid reservoir.

6.3.2.
When new fluid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the brake nipple.
6.3.3.
Repeat this procedure at every wheel.
6.3.4.
When brake bleeding and/or fluid changing is complete, test action of the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are working before driving
the vehicle.
6.3.5.
Apply copper grease to the brake bleed nipples before and after the brake bleeding procedure to eliminate the possibility of seized or
broken nipples when the brakes are next bled (See fig.7).
