I am about to purchase the Motion Pro Hydraulic Brake Bleeder, 08-0143 and I am a little confused by the instructions on their website. They list 7 steps to using the tool. Step 5 is a little confusing to me. It states:
5. To ensure proper operation of this tool, it is necessary to prime it. To do this, position the tool vertically and begin to
depress the lever/pedal, making sure to close the bleeder screw when pressure is not applied, repeat until brake
fluid is seen in the outlet hose. Position the outlet hose of the tool into a brake fluid catch can.

Step 5 talks about pressing the lever/pedal & closing the bleeder screw but none of the previous steps say anything about opening the bleeder screw. Plus, this step implies the bleeder screw can only be open when pressure is applied to the lever/pedal. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of using the tool?
It's been a long day maybe I'm just having a thick head.
Thanks,
