The sealing cap is made from brake fluid-resistant EPDM rubber.
How should I clean the adaptor after use?
Clean the adaptor with a clean, damp cloth after each use. Ensure it is dry before storing.
What should I do if the adaptor leaks fluid?
Check that the securing wings are properly tightened and the adaptor is seated correctly on the master cylinder neck. Ensure no debris is present on the sealing surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Adaptor does not seal properly
Ensure the securing wings are adjusted correctly for a snug fit on the master cylinder neck. Check for debris on the neck or the adaptor seal.
Fluid leaks from the connection point
Verify the adaptor is fully seated and the wings are tightened sufficiently. Ensure the bleeder hose connection is secure.
Difficulty fitting the adaptor
Confirm the master cylinder neck diameter falls within the 114mm-180mm range for the wings and the cap fits the Ø26-79mm range. The 90° coupling may need to be rotated to aid placement.
Rubber seal appears damaged
Inspect the EPDM rubber seal for cracks or tears. If damaged, replace the adaptor to maintain a proper seal and prevent fluid contamination.
