Sealey VS020 - Manual

Enables simple, one-man operation using a standard workshop air supply (90 to 120psi). Quick clean
and efficient operation without requiring specialised brake reservoir caps. Draws fluid from the brake
nipple enabling brake bleeding or full replacement of fluid in the system.
3.1. Brake bleeding procedure.
Do not touch the vehicle’s brake pedal whilst bleeding the brakes.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for brake bleeding and wheel
sequence before proceeding. If no specific instructions from the vehicle
manufacturer exist, follow the instructions detailed below.
 WARNING! Familiarise yourself with the hazards of brake fluid - read
manufacturer’s instructions on the container.
3.1.1. Remove the lid of the vehicle’s brake fluid reservoir (fig.1).
3.1.2. Connect the brake bleeder to a suitable compressed air unit.
3.1.3. Mount the black rubber pipe onto the brake nipple on the first wheel and open
the nipple about 1/4 of a turn (fig.2).
3.1.4. Activate the brake bleeder’s trigger. The vacuum created will draw the brake
fluid from the vehicle’s brake system (fig.3).
3.1.5. Check the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir and top up if necessary.
3.1.6. Continue to bleed the system and top up the reservoir until there are no air
bubbles visible in the clear tube (fig.4).
3.1.7. Close the brake nipple (fig.2).
3.1.8. Remove the rubber pipe from the brake nipple.
3.1.9. Depress the trigger to remove brake fluid from the clear pipe.
3.1.10. Repeat the process at each wheel in turn.
3.2. Changing the brake fluid
3.2.1. Repeat the brake bleeding procedure as described above until the master
cylinder reservoir is at its minimum level. Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid
and continue to bleed the system. Check reservoir level regularly.
3.2.2. When new fluid can be seen in the clear tube tighten the brake nipple.
3.2.3. Repeat this procedure at every wheel.
When brake bleeding and/or fluid changing is complete, test action of brake
pedal to ensure that the brakes are working before driving the vehicle.
3.2.4. Apply copper grease to the brake bleed nipples before and after the brake
bleeding procedure to eliminate the possibility of seized or broken nipples when
the brakes are next bled (fig.5).
