Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This kit is compatible with all SRAM hydraulic brakes that use mineral oil, including models such as DB-8 and Maven. It is not compatible with SRAM brakes that use DOT fluid. Always verify your brake system's fluid type before use.
Setup:
- Ensure your brake levers and calipers are clean.
- Identify the correct bleed port on your caliper and lever.
- Attach the appropriate syringe with the correct fitting (M4 or Edge adapter) to the caliper bleed port.
- Attach the other syringe to the lever bleed port.
- Use the included Torx T10 wrench if necessary for any caliper adjustments.
- Refer to SRAM's specific service manual for detailed bleeding procedures, including the order of operations and fluid amounts.
Care:
- After use, thoroughly clean all syringes, fittings, and adapters with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure no brake fluid residue remains.
- Dry all components completely before storing.
- Store the kit in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage and contamination.
- Replace O-rings if they appear worn or damaged.
