BLEEDING OF THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CABLE

1 - IDENTIFICATION

(1)Brake fluid reservoir .

(2) Hydraulic control master cylinder .

(3) Clutch pedal .

(4) Hydraulic control slave cylinder .

(5) Bleed screw .

2 - BLEEDING

IMPERATIVE : use only clean fluid free from bubbles; avoid any introduction of impurities into the hydraulic system .

Use only approved and recommended hydraulic fluid(s) : DOT4 .

IMPERATIVE : do not use automatic bleeding equipment (risk of foaming of the fluid in the circuit) .

DW8 ENGINE DW8B ENGINE DW10TD ENGINE

Remove the style cover (Engine) .

ALL MODELS

Remove the air filter/connectors assembly (8) .

Fill the reservoir with brake fluid (1) to its maximum capacity .

Move the reservoir to drive out the pockets of air .

Fill the reservoir with brake fluid (1) to its maximum capacity .

NOTE : it is possible to operate the clutch pedal 12 times without it being necessary to add brake fluid to the reservoir .

Connect a transparent tube (10) to the bleed screw (5) and connect it to a receptacle (11) situated lower than the slave cylinder (4) .

Create a siphon (12) towards the top using the transparent pipe (10) which is in contact with the bottom of the receptacle .

Open the bleed screw (5) .

Operate the clutch pedal (3) manually over its entire travel by 12 rapid forwards and backwards movements (1 forward and backward movement per second) .

Leave the clutch pedal (3) at the end of its travel on the last movement .

Close the bleed screw (5) .

Raise the clutch pedal (3) to its highest position .

Again : Fill the reservoir with brake fluid (1) to its maximum capacity .

Open the bleed screw (5) .

Operate the clutch pedal (3) manually over its entire travel by 12 rapid forwards and backwards movements (1 forward and backward movement per second) .

Leave the clutch pedal (3) at the end of its travel on the last movement .

Close the bleed screw (5) .

Raise the clutch pedal (3) to its highest position .

Top up the brake fluid level to the MAXI mark on the reservoir .

Release and engage the clutch rapidly 40 times (1 forward and backward movement per second) .

Start the engine .

Apply the handbrake .

Engage a gear .

Check that a start of friction of the clutch mechanism occurs at a distance X greater than or equal to 35 mm (Distance X is given as an indicator) .

If incorrect : Repeat the bleed operations .

Tightening torque(s) :

- bolt(s) (5) to 0.75 m.daN
- bolt(s) (6) to 2 m.daN
- bolt(s) (7) to 2 m.daN
