B. Slowly compress the brake lever several times.
C. Remove the protective cap, install one end of a
clear hose onto the REAR RIGHT bleeder screw,
and direct the other end into a container; then
while holding slight pressure on the brake lever,
open the bleeder screw and watch for air bubbles.
Close the bleeder screw before releasing the brake
lever. Repeat this procedure until no air bubbles
are present.

NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the
sight glass very closely to make sure there is always
a sufficient amount of brake fluid. If low, refill the res-
ervoir before the bleeding procedure is continued.
Failure to maintain a sufficient amount of fluid in the
reservoir will result in air in the system.
D. At this point, perform step B and C on the
FRONT RIGHT bleeder screw; then move to the
FRONT LEFT bleeder screw and follow the same
procedure.
E. Repeat step D until the brake lever is firm.
4. To bleed the auxiliary brake system, use the follow-
ing procedure.
A. Remove the cover and fill the reservoir with DOT
4 Brake Fluid; then install and secure the cover.
B. Slowly compress the brake pedal several times.
C. Remove the protective cap, install one end of a
clear hose onto the rear bleeder screw, and direct
the other end into a container; then while holding
slight pressure on the brake pedal, open the
bleeder screw and watch for air bubbles. Close the
bleeder screw before releasing the brake pedal.
Repeat this procedure until no air bubbles are
present.

D. Repeat step B and C until the brake pedal is firm.
5. Carefully check the entire hydraulic brake system
that all hose connections are tight, the bleed screws
are tight, the protective caps are installed, and no
leakage is present.
INSPECTING HOSES
Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake hoses for cracks or
other damage. If found, the brake hoses must be replaced.
CAUTION
This hydraulic brake system is designed to use DOT 4
brake fluid only. If brake fluid must be added, care must
be taken as brake fluid is very corrosive to painted sur-
faces.
