35 BRAKES Repeat the same procedure on the right front caliper, left rear wheel cylinder followed by the rear right wheel cylinder. Fig.37. If the bleeding of any cylinder continues without success for a considerable time, it may be that air is being drawn in past the bleed screw threads. In such instances, the bleed screw should be closed at the end of each downward stroke of the pedal allowing the pedal to return fully to its stop before reopening. Tighten the bleed screw finally after the last downward stroke of the pedal. Replace the dust cap on the bleed screw. After completion of bleeding, apply the brake pedal hard and check for any leak at the joints and bleed screws. Also check the brake pedal for "sponginess". If found spongy repeat the complete procedure of bleeding. If pressure bleeding is done, the engine need not run. But the sequence of bleeding operation should still be left front - right front - left rear and right rear only. Always use recommended brand of brake fluid. Do not use the fluid bled from the system for refilling in to the reservoir. CAUTION : Brake fluid may cause damage to paint. So make sure that brake fluid does not touch the painted surface. In case brake fluid comes in contact with painted surface, wipe immediately & clean the surface. Set brake light switch dimensions 3 + 0.5 and tighten lock nut (Fig. 38) Brake Fluid Level Inspection : After completion of brake bleeding check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The fluid level should be between MIN &MAX level indicated on the brake fluid reservoir. If the warning lamp glows during engine 'ON' condition replenish fluid to MAX line Fig. 39. Never use a container which has been used for mineral oil or which is wet. Always keep all brake fluid containers capped to prevent contamination.
