2. Depress the clutch pedal (hold the pedal down).
3. Open the bleed screw on the clutch actuator cylinder in order to expel the air.

Important: Ensure no air is drawn into the clutch system.

4. Close the bleed screw then release the clutch pedal.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until all the air is out of the clutch system.
6. Check and refill the reservoir as needed while bleeding.
