Hydraulic System Flushing



HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUSHING
Flushing is done at each bleeder valve similar to the bleeding procedure. The difference-is that the bleeder valve is opened 1 1/2 turns and fluid is forced through the pipes, hoses, and bleeder valves until it comes out clear in color. Refer to Hydraulic System, Service and Repair.

Check the master cylinder fluid level after flushing at each bleeder valve and refill as required. After flushing, make sure the master cylinder reservoir is filled to the correct level.
