Open the bleed nipple.

3.

Gradually depress the clutch pedal and close

the bleed nipple. Gradually release the

clutch pedal. Repeat this operation. Always

top up the clutch fluid reservoir.

4.

Pump the clutch pedal again and top up the

fluid until no more air bubbles escape

through the transparent pipe.

5.

Check the fluid level in the reservoir. See

"Inspection and adjustment".

Bleeding the clutch system via the clutch
servo

Note:

Sometimes it may be difficult to bleed the clutch

system. In such cases, the clutch system can

also be bled using a priming pump and the bleed

nipple on the clutch servo.

Ensure that the priming pump is thoroughly

cleaned inside.

1.

Connect a transparent pipe to a priming

pump (e.g. oil can) and fill the pump with the

specified fluid.

2.

Continue pumping until fluid without air

bubbles flows from the pipe.

3.

Connect the pipe to the bleed nipple of the

clutch servo and open the bleed nipple.

4.

Pump the fluid into the system with the

priming pump.

In doing so, observe the following:

-

do not depress the clutch pedal.

-

make sure that no air bubbles are

introduced into the system.

-

monitor the fluid level in the priming

pump.

-

monitor the fluid level in the clutch

reservoir.
