Pressure Bleeding

  1. Clean master cylinder cap and surrounding area. Remove cap. See Figure . With pressure tank at least 1/2 full of specified fluid and charged between 10-30 psi (.7-2.0 kg/cm2 ), connect tank to master cylinder using adapters. Follow equipment manufacturer's pressure instructions.
    CAUTION: NEVER exceed 50 psi (3.5 kg/cm2 ) during bleeding.
  2. Open pressure bleeder valve. On Aerostar, attach one end of rubber drain tube to master cylinder bleeder fitting. Open bleed fitting. On all others, bleed master cylinder primary and secondary hydraulic lines one at a time. Put shop towels in place to catch brake fluid.
  3. Open lines. On all models, allow brake fluid to flow out until all air is purged. Close bleed fitting and hydraulic line. Close pressure bleeder valve. Attach rubber drain hose to first wheel cylinder bleeder valve to be serviced. See Figure . See BLEEDING SEQUENCE  .
  4. Place other end of hose in clean glass jar partially filled with clean brake fluid so end of hose is submerged in fluid. Open pressure bleeder valve. Open bleeder fitting. Close bleeder fitting when fluid flow is free of bubbles. Repeat procedure on remaining wheel cylinders in sequence. See BLEEDING SEQUENCE  .
  5. When bleeding operation is complete, close pressure bleeder valve and remove tank hose from adapter fitting. Check brake pedal operation. Ensure that master cylinder is full of fluid.
