Unscrew the bleed valve by 1 or 2 turns.
Remove the cover and membrane from the fluid reservoir Operate the lever until all the fluid has been bled out of the circuit.
Tighten the bleed valve (torque 6 Nm).
Filling the hydraulic circuit
Fill the reservoir with fluid from a new container.
Caution! During the next operation the fluid level must remain topped up at all times. The end of the transparent plastic tubing must remain immersed in the discharged fluid at all times.
Operate the dutch lever, open the bleed valve by + or 1 turn and then close and tighten the bleed valve.
