CHECKING/BLEEDING
The hydraulic brake systems have been filled and bled
at the factory. To check and/or bleed a hydraulic brake
system, use the following procedure.
1. With the master cylinder in a level position, check
the fluid level in the reservoir. On the hand brake
if the level in the reservoir is adequate, the sight
glass will appear dark. If the level is low, the sight
glass will appear clear. On the auxiliary brake the
level must be between the MIN and MAX lines on
the reservoir.

2. Compress the brake lever/pedal several times to
check for a firm brake. If the brake is not firm, the
system must be bled.
3. To bleed the brake system, use the following pro-
cedure.
A. Remove the cover and fill the reservoir with
DOT 4 Brake Fluid.
B. Install and secure the cover; then slowly com-
press the brake lever/pedal several times.
C. Remove the protective cap, install one end of a
clear hose onto one FRONT bleeder screw, and
direct the other end into a container; then while
holding slight pressure on the brake lever/pedal,
open the bleeder screw and watch for air bub-
bles. Close the bleeder screw before releasing
the brake lever/pedal. Repeat this procedure
until no air bubbles are present.
NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the
appropriate reservoir very closely to make sure
there is always a sufficient amount of brake fluid. If
low, refill the reservoir before the bleeding proce-
dure is continued. Failure to maintain a sufficient
amount of fluid in the reservoir will result in air in
the system.
D. Repeat step C until the brake lever/pedal is
firm.
