Abstract
A hydraulic operating system for a vehicle brake and/or clutch, in which a filler connection piece is situated in the area of a hydraulic piston. In this manner, the hydraulic fluid is not charged as in the prior art by way of a compensating tank of the system but directly by way of the hydraulic cylinder assigned to the wheel brake and/or the vehicle clutch. This permits a charging of the system which is advantageous with respect to the assembly, causes little contamination and avoids air pockets.
