This equipment automates the process of removing used hydraulic fluid from a vehicle’s braking system and replacing it with fresh fluid. Typically, the process involves connecting the equipment to the vehicle’s master cylinder reservoir, then using pressure to force the old fluid out while simultaneously introducing new fluid. This method ensures a complete and efficient fluid change.
Regular replacement of hydraulic fluid is critical for maintaining safe and effective braking performance. Over time, this fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, which lowers its boiling point and can lead to brake failure under heavy use. Automated systems offer a significant advantage over traditional methods by reducing the time required for the process and minimizing the risk of introducing air into the system. Furthermore, they provide a more thorough fluid exchange, removing virtually all of the old, contaminated fluid. This technology has become increasingly important with the advent of advanced braking systems found in modern vehicles.
