BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM (XP500)
WARNING
И
Й
Bleed the hydraulic brake system when-ever:
М the system was disassembled.
М a brake hose was loosened, disconnected or replaced.
М the brake fluid level is very low.
М brake operation is faulty.
NOTE:
П Be careful not to spill any brake fluid or allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to over-flow.
П When bleeding the hydraulic brake system, make sure that there is always enough brake fluid before applying the brake. Ignoring this precaution could allow air to enter the hydraulic brake system, considerably length-ening the bleeding procedure.
П If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to let the brake fluid settle for a few hours. Repeat the bleeding procedure when the tiny bubbles in the hose have disappeared.
