6.2 BLEEDING THE CLUTCH SYSTEM
Hydraulic fluid is toxic and can
therefore have a damaging effect on
your health. Hence avoid any direct
or indirect physical contact. As
hydraulic fluid is also a corrosive
fluid, it may damage the paintwork
of the vehicle. Avoid any contact
between hydraulic fluid and
paintwork.
Always use new and clean hydraulic
fluid which has been kept in a
sealed container and complies with
the specifications. Hydraulic fluid
which has absorbed water (from the
ambient air) may have an adverse
effect on the operation of the clutch
system. Avoid any contact with
mineral oil. Even one drop of
mineral oil in the system will
damage the seals.
Bleeding the clutch system using the
“servo” bleed tank
1.
Connect the “servo” bleed tank to the
reservoir.
Note:
Filling too quickly causes foaming, which
makes bleeding virtually impossible.
2.
Fill the system via the “servo” bleed tank.
3.
Connect a transparent hose to the clutch
servo’s bleed nipple.
Insert the hose into a jar.
4.
Open the bleed nipple two full turns.
As soon as no more air bubbles escape
from the transparent hose, the bleed nipple
can be closed again.
5.
Check the fluid level, see chapter
“Inspection and adjustment”.
