id0510h3800700

Caution

•  Fluid will damage painted surfaces. Be careful not to spill any on painted surfaces. If it is spilled, wipe it off immediately.

•  Keep the fluid level in the reserve tank at 3/4 full or more during the air bleeding.

•  Do not mix different types of fluid, otherwise the clutch may not operate normally.

•  Do not reuse old fluid, otherwise the clutch may not operate normally.

•  Do not perform the quick clutch operation more than once during a 3 s period.

Note

•  The clutch pedal does not return in the early stages of air bleeding because the assist spring force is strong. If this occurs, pull the clutch pedal back using a hand or foot.

1.  Draw the fluid from the reservoir tank with a suction pump.

2.  Remove the bleeder cap from the bleeder plug and attach a vinyl hose to the bleeder plug.

3.  Place the other end of the vinyl hose into a container.

4.  Working with two people, one loosens the bleeder screw.
