10. Filling and bleeding
14
The filling and bleeding of a MAGURA brake is not a routine work. This is due to
the fact that the MAGURA Royal Blood hydraulic oil does not absorb water like DOT
brake liquid in cars and on motorcycles. A filling and bleeding of a MAGURA is therefore
only necessary in case of an incorrect installation or a tubing change after a crash. Only
use MAGURA Royal Blood hydraulic oil, never DOT brake liquid!
1. The service kit contains everything you need for bleeding your MAGURA brake.
Push by hand a barbed fitting into the filler tube
2. Put the filler tube on the syringe and fill the syringe completely with MAGURA ROYAL
BLOOD mineral oil. Never use DOT brake liquid! Pay close attention not to have any air in the
tube or syringe!
3. Remove the bleed screw at the slave cylinder (5mm Allen bolt). Fit the syringe and fix it
with a 8mm open end spanner.
4. Slide away the hose cover from the brake lever as shown
5. Remove the brake lever cover as shown by lifting it up with your fingers. .
6.Turn the brake lever as shown upwards. The EBT drill has to be at the highest point of
the system. Unscrew slightly the hose connection screw with a 8mm open end spanner so
that 3 threads can be seen.
