Important: Use a shop cloth to catch escaping brake fluid. Take care to prevent fluid from running down motor pack and entering the motor pack base
or into the electrical connector. Also, do not allow brake fluid to contact any painted surfaces as surface damage will occur. If brake fluid does contact
any surface, flush surface with water to lessen damage.
A. Crack (slightly open) the forward brake pipe tube nut on the master cylinder and check for air in escaping fluid.
