connecting a flexible tube to the draining union. The
free end of this tube must be immersed in a container
with brake fluid;
•
Loosen the draining union "A";
•
Fully pull the control lever on the handlebar, then
release it and wait some seconds before pumping
again.

Repeat this procedure until fluid, without air bubbles,
comes out from the tube in the transparent container;

Keep the control lever fully pulled and lock the draining
union "A" to the torque prescribed in the table, chapter
4, section B ;

Refit the rubber cover onto the union.
If the draining procedure has been effected correctly, a
direct fluid action, without elasticity, should be noticed
immediately after the control lever's initial stroke.
If this is not the case, repeat the above described
procedures.
