Default Pressure for brake bleed?

I just got the pressure bleeder sold on this website and the instructions say to look at the car's manual, the Helms manual says to look on the bleeder instructions, so I'm stuck.
Anyone with experience on this?
Thanks

Be sure you are not trying to use a pressure bleeder on a car that has speed bleeders (valved fittings) installed. They are not compatable with pressure bleeding devices as the require much more pressure.

10-15 psi is fine using the Motive bleeder. The flow will never be a "squirt" but rather a slow but steady flow from the bleed screw. Yes, don't use this with speed bleeders...but if you have them, you don't need this in the first place
