6. Open the tap and allow the brake fluid to
reach its level, the flow should stop
automatically when the fluid covers the slot
in the bottom of the fluid outlet tube, it may
be necessary to gently tap the refill bottle
to remove any airlocks and start the fluid
flowing.
7. Slightly open the brake bleed nipple.
8. Switch the compressor on and adjust the
regulator to 90 PSI, depress the trigger on
the fluid extractor.
Observe the brake fluid flowing through the
silicon hose, when no air bubbles are visible,
release the trigger.
NOTE: the trigger can be held permanently open by
using the trigger retainer. (see Fig. 1)

Operating Instructions
Ensure the work area is clean and tidy, the vehicle is safe and secure, i.e. the wheels are
chocked etc.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturers instructions before starting work, then proceed as follows.
1. Connect the extractor to a suitable air compressor, the compressor must be
capable of delivering between 70PSI and 170PSI,DO NOT switch compressor on at
this stage. . under normal conditions 90PSI should draw brake fluid up to a height
of 1 metre into the tank.
It may be necessary to experiment, by increasing or decreasing the air pressure for
particular applications.
2. Connect the nipple adapter to the first brake nipple to be bled by pushing it
firmly onto the nipple.
3. Fill the refill bottle, with brake fluid
specified by the vehicle
manufacturers handbook,
(maximum 1,000cc), screw the cap
assy back on and tighten by hand.
ensure the tap is closed, (see Fig. 2).
NOTE: the tap can be turned through 360º
4. Remove the cap from the brake
master cylinder reservoir and store
safely.
5. Invert the bottle containing the brake
fluid and insert the fluid outlet tube
into the neck of the reservoir. Gently
clamp the assy to the neck of the
reservoir , do not overtighten as the
neck can be distorted. (see Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
9. When finished bleeding, gently tighten the bleed nipple,
DO NOT overtighten. release the trigger and switch off, the
compressor ,
Either clamp or squeeze the silicon tube when removing
the adapter from the bleed nipple to prevent the brake
fluid running out onto the floor, hold the adapter in the air
release the clamp and allow the fluid to run into the tank.
10. Repeat the above process on all the other brakes until all
air is removed from the system. (Regularly check the fluid
level in the refill bottle and top up as necessary).
11. When finished remove the adapter and drain the fluid into the tank.
12. Close the tap on the refill bottle, loosen the clamp and remove from the reservoir.
13. Check the reservoir level and top up if necessary with new brake fluid, DO NOT
use fluid collected in the tank, refit the reservoir cap removed earlier.
14. Dispose of, if necessary the brake fluid in the tank
according to local authority regulations.
15. Strip and carefully clean all tools and accessories
etc. To remove or replace the silicon hose, push
down the coupler, (see Fig. 5). To refit, push hose
coupling into the coupler, the coupler will
automatically lock the coupling in.
Fig. 4
WARNING
If brake fluid gets into eyes, wash thoroughly with
copious amounts of clean water, seek the aid of
medical help as soon as possible.
DO NOT allow brake fluid to come into contact with the
vehicle bodywork etc. as it will remove the paint, any
spillages must be cleaned up immediately.
