9. Uncouple the ATE filling pistol
(F), and respectively the ATE
vent connection (C).
10. The appliance is now in opera-
tional order.
Setting of working pressure

The appliance should be
checked prior to each use.
The working pressure may be
read off the pressure gauge (9).
The working pressure has been
factory-set to 1.8 Bar (180000 Pa),
which corresponds to the normal
bleeding pressure of hydraulic
brake systems.
For setting of the desired work-
ing pressure the ATE bleeding unit
adapter (C) is coupled with the
filling tube (10/11) and held over a
vessel. While doing so the stop-
cock at the filling tube (10) must be
closed (locking handle is in a cross
direction to the flow direction of
the filling tube).
Open the stopcock slightly to read-
off the working pressure (stopcock
is in the flow direction of the fill-
ing tube). If bleeding with a lower
working pressure becomes nec-
essary, this may be achieved by
⟲
unscrewing ( ) the hand wheel of
the pressure controller (7).
Re-filling of brake fluid
Please comply with the chapters
"Initial operation" and "Setting of
working pressure".
ATE FB 5p Operating instructions
Notes with regard
to bleeding

It is absolutely imperative
to comply with the special
bleeding directives from car
manufacturers for ABS vehi-
cles. Ensure ABS vehicles
undergo several regulatory
brake tests on a blocked
road and repeat the bleeding
procedures, if necessary.
• Check the brake circuit splitting
before the bleeding; bleed each
circuit completely.
• It is absolutely imperative to
bleed all bleed cocks. Please
consider that certain brake
units may have several bleed-
ing valves. valves after bleeding
in accordance with regulations;
place the rubber dust cap on.
• Bleed the divided brake systems
with separated brake fluid
reservoir one after the other, i.e.
first intermediate piston circuit
(I) and then plunger rod piston
circuit (II).
• Brake systems with load-control
brake pressure regulating the
hydraulic opening of the controlled
brakes may be locked at the
relieved axles (the vehicle is on a
two-column car lift). In this case,
change the wheels of the con-
trolled axles or activate the regula-
tor into the full load position.
• If the travel of the brake pedal is
too long after bleeding, or pres-
sure build-up is too "smooth",
GB
repeat the bleeding after multiple
activation of the brake pedal.
• Carry out a leak, function and
action test of the brake system
after each filling, bleeding and
exchanging of brake fluid!
Filling of the brake system,
bleeding and exchanging of
brake fluid
1. Remove cap of brake fluid res-
ervoir.
2. Completely empty the brake
fluid from the equalising tank
by means of the ATE suction
bottle (A).
3. Connect the ATE filling pistol (B)
to the filling tube (10/11).
4. Completely fill the brake fluid
reservoir with new brake fluid and
uncouple the ATE filling pistol (B).
5. Assemble, fit and pressure tight-
en an ATE bleeding unit adapter
(C) onto the brake fluid reservoir.
6. Couple the filling tube (10/11)
onto the ATE bleeding unit
adapter (C).
7. Open the locking cock (4) at the
filling tube (10) (the locking han-
dle is in the flowing direction of
the filling tube).
8. Place the tube from the ATE
suction bottle (D) onto a bleed-
ing valve; open the bleeding
valve until new, clear, non-
porous brake fluid pours out.
9. Repeat the procedure at each
bleeding valve with a connected
suction bottle.
10. Installation of a new tandem-
master cylinder: While the brake
fluid is being poured out activate
the brake pedal a few times up
to the stop in order to complete-
ly remove the air bubbles in the
tandem-master cylinder.
11. After bleeding lock the stop-
cock (4) at the filling tube (10)
(the locking handle is in a cross
