Anyone got a manual for a Hope Little Bleeder?

I made my own Little Bleeder out of an
old Gunson Eezi-Bleed I had lying around,
A cheap B&Q garden pressure sprayer
0000003643402_001c_v001_ap
and a Hope Little Bleeder Mini Master Cylinder Cap.

I cut the pipe off the Gunson Eezi-Bleed/Little Bleeder and fitted it to the garden pressure sprayer. then used the Gunson reservoir as a catch tank for the brake fluid coming from the calliper bleed nipple.

I fill the Pressure sprayer with DOT fluid and pump it up so I don't have to use a car tyre to supply the air pressure to fill the system.

I been using the same system when I replace the brake lines on cars, found a Hope Mini Little Bleeder cap and seal for sale so bought it so I can bleed Hope Mono levers with the same system I use on car brakes.

It works well but the lever feels harder when connected to the pressure bleeder. once I refit the cap its not as hard. :?
