CAUTION:
Risk of malfunction —
Air in hydraulic fluid will compress. Compressed
air in the brake line will cause brake malfunctions.
�
Remove (bleed) air from the brake circuit before you operate the
machine.
Requirements—These personnel and items are necessary for this procedure:
• Two technicians
• An 8-ounce container of new brake fluid
• Alternative procedures to remove air and used brake fluid:
– a suction pump (faster procedure) (see Figure 7: Pumps Used to Remove Hydraulic Fluid
Quickly, page 34 )
– with pressure in the hydraulic cylinder and gravity (see Figure 8: Typical Tools to Remove
Air (Bleed) Brakes and Used Hydraulic Fluid, page 35 )
TIP: The Vacula suction pump can do the work more quickly than by gravity and pres-
sure in the hydraulic cylinder. It is also cleaner because all of the hydraulic fluid goes into
the container supplied. It helps you not spill the hydraulic fluid.
• If you use a suction pump as shown in Figure 7 , follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• If you use the tools as shown in Figure 8 , follow the instructions in : How to Change Hy-
draulic Fluid and Remove (Bleed) Air from the Brake Circuit , page 33 .
