Bleeding The Rear Wheel Brakes - Zetor PROXIMA PLUS 8541 Operator's Manual

2. BLEEDING THE REAR WHEEL BRAKES

Bleed the system in the following way:
1. Check the brake fluid level in the equalizing tank. Add the missing volume of brake
fluid into the brake fluid tank up to the maximum level.
2. After removal of the rubber cap, slide a hose on the bleeder screw (2) of the brake
cylinder and put the hose end at the bottom of a transparent bowl (3) partially filled
with the brake fluid. The bleeder screw must be permanently under pressure to
avoid aerating of the brake system through the screw threads. Place the bowl
minimum 300 mm above the bleeder screw during this operation.
3. Loosen the bleeder screw maximum by 1/4 turn.
4. The bleeding procedure is the same as mentioned in "Caution" (see page 188).
5. Fully depress the pedal that is not blocked by the gauge and tighten the adjusting
screw.
6. Release the brake pedal and repeat the procedure, until air bubbles cease escap-
ing from the hose.
