BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES

important warning:

- The brakes are one of the most important components of your minibike. We recom-

mend to leave the maintenance and the adjustment of the hydraulic brakes up to a

qualied mechanic.

- Follow the safety warning.

- Use only the brake uid DOT4.

- When working with the brake uid make sure to prevent it coming into contact with

other parts of the brakes and other parts of the minibike. Primarily protect the brake

pads and the brake discs.

For bleeding the hydraulic brakes we recommend to use the Bleeding set (or. no.

262.900.00). The procedure is the same for the front and the rear brake. Remove the

hydraulic brake from the minibike. In to the caliper, between the brake pads, we insert

the brake disc or a metal plate of the same thickness. Place the brake into the position

as illustrated in the picture no. 8 - ow-through bolts at the caliper and also the lever

are pointing upwards, the brake lever is higher than the caliper.

Brake uid may escape in the area around the ow-through bolts. We recommend

wrapping the ow-through bolts with an absorbing material before performing the

bleeding. Remove the bleeder plugs (wrench TX10) from the ow-through bolts on the

caliper and the lever and remove the bleeder plug O-ring seals. Place the hoses with

the reduction for the M5 thread on to the sprayers from the bleeding set. Fill one spra-

yer with brake uid – approx. 20 ml. Screw this sprayer into the ow-through bolt on

the brake caliper. Leave the second sprayer empty and screw it into the ow-through

bolt in the lever. With gentle pressure, start to push the brake uid from the full spra-

yer to the empty one. The pushing through of the entire volume of 20 ml should take

at least 20 seconds. Do not push out the full sprayer completely, but stop the pushing

through at least 5 mm before reaching the bottom. Too quick of a pushing through

of the uid may cause damage to the parts inside the brake. After pushing through

the entire volume, rst unscrew the sprayer on the side of the lever and screw in the

bleeder plug with the O-ring. Then unscrew the sprayer on the side of the caliper and

screw in the bleeder plug with the O-ring. Clean any spilled brake uid off of the bra-

kes and mount them back on the minibike. Verify the proper function of the brakes

before riding.
