The brake maintenance device S 15 is the optimal solution to vent and bleed fluid for hydraulic brake and clutch systems in all vehicles. Just a one-man job - the brake fluid change is quick and easy.
The complete flush and bleed of the system ensures functional reliability of the brake and anti-lock-brake systems (ABS).
The integrated shut-off valve allows a leakage test to be performed after repair of the brake or clutch system.
Structure and function
The S 15 is a solid, mobile brake maintenance device designed for shops with a mid to high number of brake fluid changes per day.
The pressure is adjustable from 0.4 to 3.5 (6 to 51 psi). The average working pressure is 1.5 to 2.5 bar (22 to 36 psi) -refer to vehicle manufacturer for specifications.
The integrated 19-liter steel tank can be filled with up to three 5-liter containers of brake fluid. A screen fitting inside the tank nozzle keeps dirt and debris out.
The device pumps the brake fluid from the tank into the master cylinder fluid reservoir fitted with a special quick-lock adapter. When the electric pump is activated, the pressure in the tank is built up slowly to prevent the brake fluid from foaming. The flow oscillates to flush and vent even the smallest air locks or dirt particles out of the hydraulic system and ensures a complete bleed.
The fluid level inside the main tank is monitored by a floater valve and indicated by three control lights (green = > 5 liter, yellow => 3.5 liters and red => 1.5 liters).
When the tank reaches the minimum fluid level of 1.5 liters, the pump automatically shuts off to avoid air being inadvertently pumped into the hydraulic system. The shut-off is indicated by the red control lamp. It is not necessary to disconnect the device from the vehicle to refill the tank, because there is no air in the line. After refilling with brake fluid, the pump can be started again and the process can continue.
Once the process is complete and the pump is turned off, the built-up pressure escapes through the integrated recirculation system and the fluid level inside the reservoir adjusts itself accordingly.
Once the pressure has fallen to 0 bar/psi, the quick-lock coupling can be disconnected from the adapter without risk of spilling brake fluid.
The 3.5 m long flexible hose offers plenty of room to change brake fluid up on a car lift.
