Brake Flush Service Procedure
1. Remove the fill cap from the MotorVac BRAKEVAC-II clean fluid tank and fill with new brake fluid. You
can observe the fluid level by looking at the level indicator window at the front of the unit. Replace the fill
cap.
2. Attach the power cord to a good 12 volt DC power source.
3. Install the proper master cylinder reservoir adapter and connect the black pressure hose coupling to the
adapter.
4. Turn the pressure switch to the ON position and check for leaks.
5. Adjust the pressure regulator until the desired pressure is reached. (45 lb. maximum). Do not over
pressurize the reservoir as it may become damaged. To set pressure, relieve any residual pressure from
the service hose by inserting the ‘fill’ adapter into the coupler at the hose end. Open the regulator valve
‘counter-clockwise’ before starting the pump. If control knob is locked, pull outward slightly until knob
clicks off the locking tab. After starting the pump adjust the regulator in ‘clockwise’ until the correct
pressure reading is obtained. Control knob can be locked by pushing knob ‘in’ towards control panel.
6. Attach the transparent (vacuum) hose to the bleeder adapter and connect to the vehicle’s first wheel
bleeder valve in the sequence. Turn on the “Vacuum” switch. Open the bleeder valve and observe the
fluid flow. When the fluid is clean, close the bleeder valve.
