N.B. Do not use mineral based oils such as CRC.
WARNING - Failure to bleed the AL-KO iQ7 actuator according to
manufacturers instruction may cause equipment damage and void the
product warranty.
Under no circumstances should the AL-KO iQ7 actuator be used to
bleed the brake system.
WARNING - The bleeding device is not designed to withstand extreme
pressurization so should never be pumped continuously without at
least one brake bleed screw being in an open position. Failure to
observe this warning may cause the bleedgun to fail, and possible
property damage may occur through brake uid contamination!
WARNING - The end of the bleeding device hose not connected to the
AL-KO iQ7 should always be submerged in a bottle of clean brake
uid. Failure to follow this procedure may result in air being pumped
into the brake system and the full bleed procedure needing to be
repeated.

brake uid spillage will occur causing paint damage.
