Pressure Bleed
Reservoir
PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION
This equipment is designed and intended for use
as a means to dispense fluid. It utilizes a manual
pressure pump to build pressure in the reservoir.
The pressure forces fluid to dispense out of the
reservoir through a fluid pickup tube. The output
of the fluid pickup tube is connected to a quickchange coupler, to which a variety of accessories
can be attached to control or direct the flow of
fluid according to the intended application.
The equipment should never be operated above a
safe level of pressure depending on the application. A gauge is installed to indicate the pressure
in the reservoir, and should be observed regularly
to ensure the pressure remains at or below what is
recommended for the application.
Applications
This equipment is intended for filling reservoirs
with fluids such as engine coolant, motor oil, or
wiper, automatic transmission, brake or power
steering fluid. However, with the proper accessories it can safely be used to pressure bleed hydraulic brake or clutch systems, or refill or top-off
sealed automatic transmissions.
Precautions
This equipment is designed for servicing a variety
of vehicles in a safe, convenient manner. However, differences in vehicle makes and models
may make it impossible to use this equipment as
it is intended. Do not attempt to force the use of
this equipment on an application for which it is not
designed to perform.
The procedures documented in this manual are to
serve as guidelines for the use of this equipment.
In addition to these guidelines, always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended procedures when
servicing each unique vehicle.
The use of this equipment is simple and straightforward if you follow the instructions. However,
always keep in mind that you are working with a
system that may be under pressure, with fluid that
is just waiting to be expelled. When operating
this equipment, use common sense, and always
stop to think before disconnecting a hose or other
component.
• This equipment is intended only for professional
use by personnel trained in performing the service functions for which it is has been designed.
• Read carefully and understand all instructions
prior to using this equipment.
• Always wear eye protection and proper clothing
when operating this equipment
• Do not attempt to modify the pressure relief
valve to alter its performance. If pressure in the
reservoir ever exceeds 23 psi (1.6 bar), return
it to an authorized service center for repair or
replacement.
• Some fluids, including brake fluid, are corrosive,
and proper care should be taken to protect
painted surfaces and skin from exposure.
• Do not use this equipment with gasoline or other
flammable liquids, or with fluids at temperatures
above 175° Fahrenheit (80° Celsius).
• Consult and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended procedure when using this
equipment to perform automotive service.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Fluid Dispensing
1. Unscrew the lid w/ pump from the reservoir,
and fill to desired level with clean fluid.
Note:There are two scales of volume on the
reservoir. One scale indicates the volume
when the lid w/ pump is removed and one
when the lid w/ pump is installed. Be sure to
note the appropriate scale.
CAUTION: If fluid is added above the MAX
FILL line, the reservoir will overflow when the
lid w/ pump is installed.
2. Reinstall the lid w/ pump onto the reservoir.
3. Connect the fluid dispensing hose or other
accessory to the quick-connect coupler extending from the reservoir. Ensure the coupler
sleeve snaps forward to lock the
connection.
Note: Depending on the application, the
shutoff valve installed in the fluid dispensing
hose may be left open or closed. If left open,
fluid will begin to flow as soon as the pump is
operated. If closed, pressure will build in the
reservoir as indicated on the gauge.
4. While observing the pressure gauge, operate
the pump to build pressure in the reservoir to
the desired level, or until the desired amount of
fluid has been dispensed.
Note: A built-in pressure relief valve is de-
signed to open and maintain maximum pressure between 17 and 23 psi (1.2 and 1.6 bar).
Continual operation of the pump is not re-
quired to maintain fluid flow. Fluid will continue
to flow as long as there is pressure in the
reservoir and the shutoff valve is open.
WARNING: Do not exceed 25 psi (1.7 bar)
pressure in the reservoir. The relief valve
should prevent this, but if it fails and the pressure exceeds 25 psi, immediately discontinue
use and send the unit to an authorized service
center for repair or replacement.
5. Once the proper amount of fluid has been dispensed, close the shutoff valve and bleed off
the pressure by tilting the pressure relief knob
located on the lid.
6. Depending on the type of fluid and future
intended use, you may store the remaining
fluid from the reservoir. Otherwise empty the
reservoir, clean it with denatured alcohol or
a common household cleaner, and store it
properly.

PRESSURE BRAKE BLEEDING
The Mityvac Fluid Dispensing System is appropriate for use as a pressure bleeder for hydraulic
brake and clutch systems. Additional accessories
and adapters may be required and are available
from Mityvac for performing this function.
WARNING: Hydraulic/brake fluid is hazardous and
corrosive. Take precautions to protect painted
surfaces and skin from exposure, and read and
follow the fluid manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions.
1. Park the car, set the parking brake, and turn off
the engine.
2. Open and secure the hood.
3. Locate the brake or clutch master cylinder and
remove the cap.
4. Extract as much used hydraulic fluid from the
master cylinder reservoir as possible, and refill
it with new fluid.
5. Select the appropriate master cylinder pressure bleed adapter and install it securely onto
the master cylinder reservoir.
6. Before adding fluid to the Dispenser, connect
the fluid dispensing hose to the female quickconnect coupler extending from the reservoir.
Ensure the coupler sleeve snaps forward to
lock the connection.
7. Connect the other end of the fluid dispensing
hose to the male quick-connect coupler on
the master cylinder pressure bleed adapter.
Ensure the coupler sleeve snaps forward to
lock the connection.
8. Ensure the shutoff valve is open, and operate
the manual pump to pressurize the system to
10 psi (0.7 bar).
9. Watch the pressure gauge to ensure there are
no leaks. If the pressure drops, relieve the
remaining pressure in the system by tilting the
pressure relief knob located on the lid, remove
and retighten the lid from the dispensing reservoir and the adapter on the master cylinder
reservoir, and recheck the system for leaks.
WARNING: Serious injury and/or equipment
damage can occur if the lid is removed from
the dispensing unit or the adapter from the
master cylinder, without first relieving the
system pressure.
10. Once you’ve proven all connections are secure
and the master cylinder adapter does not leak,
remove the lid w/ pump from the dispensing unit and add up to 2 quarts (2 liters) of a
manufacturer’s recommended new hydraulic
fluid from a sealed container.
11. Reinstall the lid w/ pump and tighten it securely.
12. Consult a service manual to determine the
recommended bleed pressure and the proper
bleeding sequence for the vehicle being serviced.
13. Observing the pressure gauge, operate the
pressure pump to achieve the recommended
pressure.
14. Connect the bleed reservoir to the bleed screw
of the first cylinder to be bled.
15. Open the bleed screw. Allow fluid to flow out
until only clear new fluid with no visible air
bubbles is streaming from the screw, and then
re-tighten the bleed screw to the manufacturer’s recommended torque.
16. Perform the same procedure on all remaining
bleed screws. Operate the pressure pump as
required to maintain adequate pressure.
Note: Do not allow the dispensing unit and
master cylinder reservoir to run dry. Use the
pressure relief valve to relieve the pressure and
add new fluid if necessary.
17. Once bleeding is complete, relieve the pressure in the reservoir and master cylinder by
tilting the pressure relief knob located on the
lid of the dispensing unit.
18. Close the fluid dispensing hose shutoff valve,
and carefully remove the adapter from the
master cylinder, being careful not spill any
brake fluid.
19. Extract excess fluid or top-off the master cylinder as required, and replace the cap.
20. Dispose of any hydraulic fluid remaining in
the Dispenser. Do not store hydraulic fluid in
the reservoir. Clean the dispensing unit with
denatured alcohol and store it properly.
21. Test the brake or clutch system for leaks
before driving the car.

REFILLING SEALED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
The Mityvac Fluid Dispensing System is appropriate for use to refill or top-off sealed automatic transmissions. Additional accessories and
adapters may be required and are available from
Mityvac for performing this function.
1. Unscrew the lid w/ pump from the reservoir,
and fill to desired level with new vehicle manufacturer’s recommended transmission fluid.
CAUTION: Lifetime “sealed” transmissions
require the use of special manufacturer recommended fluids. Use of any other fluids may
cause severe damage to the transmission and
void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Note: There are two scales of volume on the
reservoir. One scale indicates the volume
when the lid w/ pump is removed and one
when the lid w/ pump is installed. Be sure to
note the appropriate scale.
CAUTION: If fluid is added above the MAX
FILL line, the reservoir will overflow when the
lid w/ pump is installed.
2. Reinstall the lid w/ pump onto the reservoir.
3. Connect the fluid dispensing hose to the reservoir using the quick-connect coupler. Ensure
the coupler sleeve snaps forward to lock the
connection.
Note: The shutoff valve installed in the fluid
dispensing hose may be left open or closed. If
left open, fluid will begin to flow as soon as the
pump is operated. If closed, pressure will build
in the reservoir as indicated on the gauge.
4. Select the appropriate ATF refill adapter for the
application and connect it to the output of the
fluid dispensing hose.
5. Insert or connect the ATF refill adapter to the
transmission.
6. While observing the pressure gauge, operate
the pump to build pressure in the reservoir to
the desired level, or until the proper amount of
fluid has been dispensed.
Note: Check the vehicle’s service manual to
determine the proper method to check the
transmission fluid level. Failure to follow the
manufacturer’s recommended procedure
could result in under- or over-filling the transmission, causing severe transmission damage.
The pressure relief valve is designed to open
and maintain maximum pressure between 17
and 23 psi (1.2 and 1.6 bar).
Continual operation of the pump is not re-
quired to maintain fluid flow. Fluid will continue
to flow as long as there is pressure in the
reservoir and the shutoff valve is open.
WARNING: Do not exceed 25 psi (1.7 bar)
pressure in the reservoir. The relief valve
should prevent this, but if it fails and the pressure exceeds 25 psi, immediately discontinue
use and send the unit to an authorized service
center for repair or replacement.
7. Once the proper amount of fluid has been
dispensed, close the shutoff valve on the fluid
dispensing hose and bleed off the pressure by
tilting the pressure relief knob located on the
lid.
8. Depending on the type of fluid and future intended use, store or empty the remaining fluid
from the reservoir.
9. Clean the unit with denatured alcohol or common household cleaners, and store it properly.
