Equus 3660 - Hand Vacuum Pump & Brake Bleeding Kit - Manual (Page 22)

20 3660
NOTE: It is possible to bleed the brake system without using teflon
tape on the bleed screw threads, but, air will be drawn from around
the bleed screw threads, and it may be difficult to tell if the air is
coming from the brake system or from around the bleed screw
threads.
6. Squeeze and release the pump handle as necessary (usually 8 ~ 12
times) to create sufficient vacuum in the reservoir jar. If the
vacuum is not holding, retighten the lid on the jar.
7. Open the brake bleeder screw slightly (1/4 - 1/2 turn) to allow
brake fluid to enter the reservoir jar. The air that is bled from the
brake lines will appear as large, uneven bubbles in the 24-inch
(61cm) clear tubing.
8. When the level of fluid in the reservoir jar reaches approximately
1 ~ 2 inches (2.5 ~ 5 cm), tighten the brake bleeder screw.
DISPOSE OF THE USED BRAKE FLUID PROPERLY.
9. Repeat steps I through 8 for all remaining wheels.
