FAQs
What type of air compressor is required?
The bleeder requires a standard workshop air compressor with a 1/4" BSP outlet. Ensure your compressor can maintain sufficient pressure for efficient bleeding.
What type of brake fluid should I use?
Always use the brake fluid type specified by your vehicle's manufacturer. Consult your owner's manual for the correct fluid type.
How often should I bleed my brakes?
Brakes should be bled when air enters the system, such as after replacing brake components, or as per your vehicle's maintenance schedule, typically every 1-2 years.
Can I use this on ABS systems?
Yes, this bleeder can be used on vehicles with ABS systems. However, follow the vehicle manufacturer's specific bleeding procedures for ABS systems.
How do I clean the bleeder?
After use, flush the unit with clean brake fluid. Wipe down the exterior with a clean cloth. Dispose of the used brake fluid responsibly.
Where can I find replacement parts?

What safety precautions should I take?

Troubleshooting
The bleeder is not creating suction.
Check the air compressor connection, ensure the air pressure is sufficient, and inspect the seals for leaks.
Air bubbles are still present in the brake lines.
Ensure all bleed valves are closed after bleeding. Double-check all connections for leaks. Repeat the bleeding process, starting from the wheel furthest from the master cylinder.
The bleeder is leaking fluid.
Check all connections and seals. Ensure all fittings are tight and properly seated.
