FAQs
What types of brake fluid can I use with this bleeder?
This unit is safe for use with DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 4+, and DOT 5.1 brake fluids.
Do I need a separate fluid catch bottle?
The unit includes a 5L brake fluid container. However, if you prefer to use a dedicated fluid catch bottle for waste fluid, you can do so. See Laser Part No. 6592 for a suitable option.
How do I connect the power?
The bleeder connects directly to your vehicle's 12v power outlet, such as a cigarette lighter or auxiliary socket, via the included cable.
What is the maximum pressure the unit can generate?
The pressure is easily adjustable from 0 up to a maximum of 50psi (3.5 bar).
Are specific adaptors needed for different vehicles?
A euro cap adaptor is included. For certain vehicles, like Ford Fiesta, Hyundai, or Tesla models, you may need to purchase additional specific adaptors (e.g., Laser Part Nos. 5700, 7516, 8015, 8016).
Is this unit made in the UK?
No, this brake bleeder is designed and manufactured in Germany.
What happens when the fluid container is empty?
The unit features an auto shutoff function that will activate when the internal 5L container is empty, preventing the system from drawing in air.
Troubleshooting
Unit not powering on
Verify the 12v power connection is securely plugged into the vehicle's socket. Check the vehicle's fuse for the auxiliary power outlet. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on or in the accessory position.
Pressure not building or dropping quickly
Check all connections for leaks, including the master cylinder adaptor seal and any fluid lines. Ensure the brake fluid container is adequately filled. Verify the pressure dial is set correctly.
Fluid not being drawn or pushed effectively
Confirm the correct master cylinder adaptor is used and properly sealed. Ensure the pressure is set above 0psi. Check for any potential blockages in the fluid lines.
Auto shutoff engaging prematurely
The auto shutoff indicates the fluid reservoir is empty. Refill the 5L container or ensure the external fluid supply is adequate if using a separate catch bottle setup.
