Vacuum Brake Bleeding
The .Fluid .Transfer .Accessory .Kit .provides .a .
simple, .clean, .and .quick .method .for .vacuum .
bleeding .the .fluid .lines .in .an .automotive .brake .
system . .It .operates .by .creating .a .vacuum .in .the .
bottle, .which .draws .fluid .from .the .lines .via .the .
wheel .cylinder .bleed .screws .
1 . . Ensure .the .vehicle .is .properly .positioned .
for .safe, .convenient .access .to .the .master .
cylinder, .and .the .brake .bleed .screw .located .
on .each .wheel .brake .cylinder . .Set .the .park-

ing .brake, .turn .off .the .engine, .and .open .and .
secure .the .hood .
.
note: .Make .certain .the .master .cylinder .
reservoir .is .filled .and .a .supply .of .new, .clean .
brake .fluid .of .the .proper .type .is .on .hand .to .
top .off .the .reservoir .as .the .fluid .level .drops .
during .bleeding . .Make .sure .all .the .bleeding .
fittings .are .clean .prior .to .beginning .of .the .
bleeding .procedure .
.
note: .Consult .the .vehicle .manufacturer's .
guidelines .for .the .proper .wheel .bleeding .
sequence .and .vacuum .bleeding .procedure .
2 . . Disconnect .the .quick-change .coupler .from .
the .end .of .the .fluid .hose .extending .from .the .
bottom .of .the .fluid .transfer .bottle .by .pulling .
back .on .the .blue .sleeve .of .the .coupler .to .
release .it .from .the .hose .
3 . . Insert .the .appropriate .brake .bleed .adapter .
into .the .end .of .the .fluid .hose .in .place .of .the .
coupler .
.
note: .Brake .bleed .adapters .are .not .in-
cluded .with .the .fluid .transfer .accessory .kit, .
but .come .standard .with .most .Mityvac .hand .
pump .kits, .or .can .be .purchased .separately . .
In .many .cases, .the .end .of .the .fluid .hose .can .
be .slipped .directly .onto .the .bleed .screw .
nipple, .eliminating .the .need .for .a .brake .
bleed .adapter .
4 . . Following .the .vehicle .manufacturer's .recom-
mended .bleed .procedure, .hang .the .fluid .
transfer .bottle .assembly .in .a .safe, .secure .
location .within .reach .of .the .first .wheel .cylin-
der .to .be .bled, .and .open .the .shut-off .valve .
located .on .the .fluid .hose .assembly .
5 . . Connect .a .Mityvac .hand .vacuum .pump .to .
the .inlet .hose .extending .from .the .side .of .the .
fluid .transfer .bottle .
6 . . Slide .a .wrench .securely .onto .the .hex .of .the .
wheel .cylinder .bleed .screw, .and .then .slip .
the .bleed .screw .adapter .or .fluid .hose .over .
the .bleed .screw .nipple .
7 . . Operate .the .hand .pump .10 .to .15 .times .to .
build .vacuum .in .the .fluid .transfer .bottle, .
and .turn .the .wrench .to .open .the .fitting .only .
enough .to .allow .fluid .to .flow; .usually .1/4 .to .
1/2 .turn .
.
note: .A .tiny .stream .of .bubbles .may .be .
noticed .in .the .hose .after .all .of .the .air .is .bled .
from .the .lines . .This .is .caused .by .air .seeping .
around .the .threads .of .the .loosened .bleeder .
fitting .and .being .drawn .back .through .the .
fitting .by .the .suction .of .the .pump . .Once .the .
air .is .removed .from .within .the .system, .these .
tiny .bubbles .will .in .no .way .jeopardize .the .
bleeding .operation, .since .they .are .present .
