Cautions and Warnings
Warning
- Before using the instrument, please read this manual carefully for proper operation.
- Before commencing installation, carefully inspect the equipment inventory. If you have any uncertainties, do not hesitate to immediately get in touch with the dealer or AUTOOL company.
- During the replacement of brake fluid, closely monitor all connections for leaks and check the condition of the connecting pipelines. If any irregularities or issues are observed, halt the replacement immediately.
- Any residual brake fluid on the equipment during operation should be promptly wiped clean to avoid localized chemical reactions that may affect the equipment's appearance.
- It is strictly prohibited to place wiping cloths used for motor oil, fuel, or solvents on the equipment.
- Prior to use, visually inspect the equipment for any damage. If damage is observed, do not use the equipment and contact a professional for repair.
- This equipment is designed for the exclusive purpose of changing automobile brake fluid. Any other use is strictly prohibited and may result in equipment damage.
- This equipment is intended for use with a 12V DC voltage only. It is strictly prohibited to use voltages of 24V/110V/220V/380V, as this may result in equipment damage.
- When using the equipment for the first time or when exchanging to a different type of brake fluid, it is necessary to purge the equipment and then drain the brake fluid into the recover bottle.
Product Introduction
Functional principle
The AST612 utilizes cutting-edge pulsating technology, continuously emitting pulses signals at regular intervals. These high-frequency pulses are employed to generate pressure within the brake fluid pipeline. The application of pulsations in the brake fluid exchange machine addresses the issue of air purging from the pipeline. Additionally, the powerful impact of these pulsations dislodges dirt and impurities adhered to the inner walls of the pipeline, thereby saving time and enhancing work efficiency.
Product functions
- Adjustable pulsating oil exchange enables more thorough replacement of brake fluid.
- Independent design for new and old oil pipelines: Prevents cross-contamination between new and old oil.
- Corrosion-resistant oil pipelines: Combines durability, aesthetics, and portability.
Product features
The AST612 is controlled by a microcontroller, allowing for precise control of brake fluid pressure and flow rate. It boasts a high level of automation, enabling one-person operation and offering convenience, time-saving, and labor-saving benefits.

Operations Instruction
Basic operating procedure
Upon factory shipment, this equipment is preconfigured with a default working pressure of 1.5 kg/cm². This setting is carefully chosen to maintain the integrity of the automotive oil storage tank during fluid exchange, thereby ensuring a secure seal for the secondary sealing ring. Moreover, it is possible to adjust the working pressure for performing air bleeding or fluid exchange under various working pressure.
Operation
? NOTE: Vehicle ignition is not required.
- Lift the car to an appropriate height to raise the wheels off the ground.
- Add an adequate amount of new brake fluid into the equipment's new fluid storage tank and connect it to a 12V car battery.
- Turn on the "Power Switch", and you will hear a buzzer sound as a reminder when the machine starts up.
- Connect the appropriate adapter to the outlet hose.
- Press the "Start" button on the control panel to begin by bleeding air from the product's outlet hose. When the adapter on the outlet hose has flowed the new brake fluid, press the "Stop" button.
- Connect the outlet hose, equipped with the adapter, to the vehicle's brake fluid reservoir.
- Connect the equipment's oil bottle to the brake master cylinder on the car wheels and loosen the bleed screw on the brake caliper.
- Press the "Start" button again to initiate the brake fluid replacement process.
- During the fluid exchange, monitor the brake sub-cylinder fluid outlet. If the fluid flow is too slow, press the "+ Pressure Adjustment" button to increase the pressure for fluid injection. If it's too fast, press the "- Pressure Adjustment" button to reduce the pressure for filling.
- After use, press the "Stop" button to turn off the machine. Wait for 15 seconds, then check if there is any pressure reading on the pressure gauge. If there is no pressure reading, remove the adapter from the car's brake fluid reservoir and then disconnect it from the outlet hose.
- Turn off the machine and unplug it from the power supply.
