1 - Air removal with ARC50
Secure the clutch pedal in the up position with a strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure the integrity of the hydraulic drive during the bleeding operation.
Note: Be careful not to disturb the clutch pedal start sensor adjustment.
Attach the brake system bleeder device (having received approval from Renault) to the master cylinder reservoir (see the installation instructions).
Remove the plug from the air bleed nipple of the clutch slave cylinder.
Attach a clear tube to the air bleed nipple and place the other end into an empty container located above the air bleed nipple.
Unscrew the plug to remove air.
Open the system between the air bleeder and the brake fluid reservoir.
Wait until the brake fluid flows out without bubbles.
Relieve the pressure in the clutch hydraulic system by turning off the air bleeder.
Close the air bleed nipple.
Disconnect the clear tube from the air bleed nipple.
Place a plug on the bleed nipple.
After disconnecting the bleeder, add brake fluid to the master cylinder reservoir to the normal level.
Quickly engage and disengage the clutch about twenty times.
Check the functionality of the clutch.
If necessary, repeat the air removal operation.
Check the switch adjustment.
2 - Removing air with a new syringe
Secure the clutch pedal in the up position with a strap attached to the steering wheel to ensure the integrity of the hydraulic drive during the bleeding operation.
Note: Be careful not to disturb the clutch pedal start sensor adjustment.
Remove the plug from the air bleed nipple of the clutch slave cylinder.
Connect the clear tube to the air bleed nipple (minimum, thirty centimeters) so that it occupies the same position in height as the tank.
Unscrew the plug to remove air.
Pour brake fluid into the master cylinder reservoir until it flows out of the brake drive bleeder nipple.
Note: To prevent air from entering the clutch hydraulic circuit, the transparent tube must be at the same height as the master cylinder reservoir.
Attach a new hydraulic bleed syringe with a usable capacity of 60 ml of approved brake fluid to the end of the clear tube.
Slowly and completely force the fluid out of the syringe into the clutch hydraulic system, making sure that no air from the top of the syringe enters the system.
Close the air bleed nipple.
Disconnect the clear tube from the air bleed nipple.
Place a plug on the bleed nipple.
Bring the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir to normal.
Quickly engage and disengage the clutch about twenty times.
Check the functionality of the clutch.
If necessary, repeat the air removal operation.
Check the switch adjustment.
