Clutch Fluid: Bleeding
CAUTION:
Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the affected area with water.
NOTE:
- Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of a vacuum assist or power bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.
- Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank to make sure it does not empty.
- Top off reservoir with new recommended brake fluid. Refer to [RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS ]
- Connect a transparent vinyl tube and container to the air bleeder valve on the clutch operating cylinder.
- Fully depress the clutch pedal several times.
- With the clutch pedal depressed, open the bleeder valve to release the air.
- Close the bleeder valve.
- Repeat steps 3 to 5 until clear brake fluid comes out of the air bleeder valve.
- Tighten the air bleeder to the specified torque.
