Power bleeder pressure?

I just overhauled my front brakes (pads, rotors, lines) on my G50 Carrera. A friend dropped by, so we bled them out the old fashioned way. On the first corner, I wasn't paying close enough attention to the reservoir and I sucked it dry. No biggie. Refilled it, restarted that corner and it bled out nicely.

My problem is that I didn't realize that the clutch shared the same reservoir until I drove the car to bed in the brakes. It's pretty clear that I have introduced some air in the system. It works, but barely - and it's pretty annoying. Looks like I'll have to bleed the clutch slave next weekend. I'm going to use a Motive Power Bleeder to pressurize the system.

How much is enough/safe pressure to pump into the system?

Thanks!
