Move pedal to the fully depressed position. When doing so, guide the pedal by hand so that it does not move forward abruptly.
Switch on the bleeding device. Bleeding pressure approx. 1.5 bar.
The bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder must be opened until clear, bubble-free brake fluid emerges. Use a collecting bottle for precise examination of the emerging brake fluid for cleanliness and freedom from bubbles.
