Intended Use; Operating Principle - Forch BEG 212 Manual De Instrucciones

Intended use

The unit is intended exclusively for replacing brake fluid and bleeding brake and clutch sys-
tems on motor vehicles. Any other type of use going beyond this is not intended.

Operating Principle

Brake fluid is taken from the original canister by a pump. The fluid is pumped into the brake
fluid reservoir continuously at a pressure of up to 3.5 bars. The old fluid can be drained at the
individual wheel brake cylinders until new brake fluid exits. In comparison to
conventional systems this eliminates filling the fluid from one container to another
preventing the brake fluid from thus absorbing water.
Start-up
Observe line voltage:
Ensure that the line voltage coincides with the specifications on the unit rating plate. Units
marked for operation with 230V can also be operated on 220V.
■
The unit should be operated only with brake fluid. We cannot assume any guarantee or
liability for damage resulting from use of other fluids.
■ Never connect the filling hose to compressed air; this would destroy the unit. We cannot
assume any guarantee for such damage.
■
Place the brake fluid canister in the receptacle provided for this purpose.
■
Unscrew the cover on the canister and select the cone that fits from the rubber cones
supplied with the unit.
■
Moisten intake hose 8 slightly with brake fluid and push it through the suitable rubber
cone.
■
Then insert intake hose 8 into the canister until it makes light contact with the floor of the
container. At the conclusion press the rubber cone tightly into the threaded neck.
Using for the first time
■
First it is necessary to bleed the air out of the unit:.
1. Attach the adapter to filling hose 1 only, not to a vehicle and hold over a catch reservoir.
2. Switch on the unit (move power switch to <<ON>> position) and press start button 4
(pump starts pumping).
3. Hold the adapter over the catch reservoir until no more bubbles are present in the brake
fluid exiting.
4. Disconnect the adapter with the pump still running and switch off the unit immediately
(move power switch 5 to <<OFF>> position).
5. The unit is not ready for operation even when the reading on the pressure gauge drops to
0 bars. There are no more bubbles in the unit on the pressure side.
