If the brake pedal becomes "soft" and becomes "harder" after several consecutive presses, this means that air has entered the hydraulic brake drive.
To remove air from the system, you need to bleed the brakes. The procedure for bleeding the brakes is quite simple, but it is more convenient to do it with an assistant.
Bleeding the brake system is described in detail in Section 9 "Brake System" (see "Bleeding the hydraulic brake system").
