Cautions

Warning

Before using the instrument, please read this manual carefully for proper operation.

For Your Safety

• Work performed incorrectly can lead to injury or property damage! ⚠️
• The brake maintenance device should only be operated by trained persons. Use by unauthorized persons is prohibited.
• Brake fluids are toxic and can lead to serious injury!
• Avoid all contact with brake fluid.
• Wear safety goggles to minimize the risk of injury from splashing.
• Wear suitable, protective gloves to minimize the risk of injury caused by skin contact.
• In case of skin contact with brake fluid, wash off immediately with water.
• Remove contaminated clothing.
• Do not carry any rags or anything else that has been in contact with brake fluid in your clothes.
• Before any work is performed on the brake maintenance device, disconnect the power cord and plug.
• Only plug the brake maintenance device in, when the device is turned off.
• Do not make design changes to the brake maintenance device.
• Before each use, make sure to check the brake maintenance device, its hoses, cables, and connectors. If there is any damage, do not use the brake maintenance device. Repairs are to be carried out by a specialist. Never open the brake maintenance device.
• The brake maintenance device must not be damp and should not be operated in a humid environment.

Proper Usage

The brake maintenance device is to be used exclusively for filling and draining of brake fluid for brakes and clutches on motor vehicles. Any other use is considered beyond the device's intended purpose is prohibited.

Foreseeable Misuse

• Operation with other liquids other than brake fluid can damage the brake maintenance device and is therefore prohibited.
• For misuse, the manufacturer is not liable for any damage. Any risk is carried solely by the user or operator.

Product Introduction

Operating Principle

It works by using a pump to extract brake fluid from the new fluid bottle and continuously pumping it into the vehicle's brake fluid container at a specified pressure. Then, the old brake fluid is systematically discharged from each car brake cylinder, following the sequence specified by the vehicle's original manufacturer, until the new brake fluid begins to flow.

In comparison to traditional pressure-based brake fluid exchange machines, this innovative pulsating brake fluid bleeder machine efficiently prevents the formation of air bubbles during the filling process and streamlines or eliminates the necessity for manual bleeding procedures.

Any other use is considered beyond the intended purpose of the equipment and is prohibited.

Technical Data

Product Structure

Structure Diagram

The AUTOOL AST609 features several key components:

• A: Output pipe
• B: Pressure gauge
• C: Standard mode selector
• D: Power indicator light
• E: Switch-ON button
• F: Fast mode selector
• G: Working indicator light
• H: Switch-OFF button

The rear of the unit includes:

• K: Power switch
• L: Connector of output pipe

Note: The adapter, used to connect to the brake fluid reservoir, is not shown and may have different versions available.

Operations Instruction

Place the brake fluid bleeder on a flat and even surface. Ensure the output hose is not under any mechanical strain, such as when elevating the vehicle onto a lift.

Initial Start / Device Self-Bleeding

This procedure is essential for initial startup:

• Place the brake fluid bleeder on a flat surface.
• Remove the cap of the new fluid bottle and add fresh brake fluid.
• Set the new fluid bottle in the back space of the brake fluid bleeder to prevent tipping.
• Insert the input hose and pressure balancing hose into the new fluid bottle until they reach the bottom. The input hose is for extraction, while the pressure balancing hose returns excess pressure to the new fluid bottle.
• To bleed the machine, connect the adapter fitting only to the output hose, not to the vehicle.
• Power on the brake fluid bleeder using the power switch.
• Press the “Start” button. Continue until brake fluid flows out of the output hose into a suitable container, indicating the bleeding process is complete.
• Turn off the power switch. Once the pressure gauge slowly drops to 0 bar, remove the adapter fitting.
• The brake fluid bleeder is now ready for use.

Brake Fluid Exchangement

• Install the appropriate adapter fitting onto the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir.
• Connect the output hose to the installed adapter fitting.
• Connect the power cable. Lift the car to an appropriate height so the tires are off the ground.
• Connect the oil bottle to the brake cylinder on the car's wheel and loosen the brake caliper bleed screw.
• Turn on the equipment power switch and rotate the knob in the middle of the device to select either Standard mode or Fast mode.
• Press the start button to initiate the brake fluid exchange process.
• Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for bleeding the brake system, exchanging fluid one wheel at a time. If no specific sequence is provided, start from the right rear and proceed to the left front brake cylinder. Once new, bubble-free brake fluid overflows from the bleed hole, close the bleed screw.
• After usage, press the “Stop” button to halt the machine. Wait for 15 seconds and check the pressure gauge. If no pressure is displayed, remove the adapter from the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir and then from the output hose.
• Turn off the machine and disconnect the power supply.
