CooLift
®
BLEEDING BRAKES
TOOLS NEEDED:
14mm WRENCH
#3 PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER
T10 TORX DRIVER
T20 TORX DRIVER
TORQUE WRENCH
SPACER BLOCK (4” x 4” x 24” WOODEN BLOCK)
DOT 4 or DOT 5 BRAKE FLUID
DRIP PAN
ABSORBING MATERIAL (for containing spills)
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL
Note: It is important to keep the CooLift upright at all times.
CAUTION:
DOT 4 and DOT 5 brake fluids are a slip hazard on any flooring surface.
Brake fluid will strip paint; any spills on a painted surface should be wiped up and
rinsed with isopropyl alcohol immediately.
Brake fluid can be an irritant to human tissue and should be washed off in flowing
water.
If brake fluid is exposed to the eye, flush immediately and continuously for 15
minutes.
1)
Place the CooLift on a level flooring surface.
2) Raise the deck to its highest position.
3) Insert the spacer block between the deck and the base of the cart.
4)
Turn off main power switch.
5) Remove the back access panel from the cart using the #3 Phillips screwdriver.
6) Remove the reservoir cover (B) from the brake master cylinder reservoir using the Torx T20 driver.
7)
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder (A) making sure it is filled to the fill line marked on the inside of
the reservoir.
8)
Set the reservoir cover (B) back on top of the master cylinder (A) to keep fluid from splashing out, but do
not tighten the screws.
9) Pump the brake handle eight to ten times and note the amount of pressure it takes each time. If the
amount of pressure needed to fully compress the handle begins to increase after the first few pumps, skip
the next step of bleeding the master cylinder brake line (E).
10) When there is no noticeable increase in pressure after ten pumps, the master cylinder brake line (E) needs
to be bled first. Using the 14mm wrench, loosen the banjo bolt (F) that connects it to the junction block (D)
until fluid is noticed seeping out at the junction block fitting. NOTE: It is not necessary to take the banjo
bolt out entirely, it just needs to be loosened a few turns to allow the air in the brake line to escape and be
replaced with brake fluid. Once fluid seeps out of junction block fitting, re-tighten the banjo bolt.
11)
Remove the reservoir cover (B) and recheck the fluid level. Set the reservoir cover (B) back on top of the
master cylinder (A) to keep fluid from splashing out, but do not tighten the screws.
12)
Place the drip pan on the floor under the caliper on the left side of the cart.
13) The lower brake lines need to be bled next. Open the bleed screw in the banjo bolts on the calipers with
the T10 torx driver until fluid is noticed seeping out of the bleed screw. NOTE: It is not necessary to take
the bleed screw out entirely, it just needs to be loosened a few turns to allow the air in the brake line to
