Brake Test
Carefully bleed the brake lines as soon as the brake valve 
is installed in the machine. Air in the system will not allow 
the brakes to apply properly. There are two brake bleeder 
locations on each axle. Work with an assistant to perform 
this procedure.
1. Place the travel select lever in (N) NEUTRAL,
engage the park brake, and start the engine.
2. Have the assistant frame sway the machine full left
to expose the brake bleeders on the right front and 
right rear axles.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the brake bleeder (5).
Attach one end of a length of transparent tubing over 
the brake bleeder. Place the other end of this tubing 
in a suitable transparent container that is partially 
filled with hydraulic oil. The end of the tubing must be 
below the oil level in the container.
4. DO NOT open the brake bleeder without holding the
tubing firmly on the bleeder. There is pressure at the 
brakes. Carefully open the bleeder with a 12 mm 
wrench. Have the assistant depress the brake pedal. 
Close the brake bleeder when air bubbles no longer 
appear in the oil. Release the brake pedal. Remove 
the tubing from the brake bleeder.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for the right rear brake
bleeders.
6. Frame sway the machine full right to expose the
brake bleeders on the left front and left rear axles.
7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the left front and left rear
brakes.
8. Conduct a pressure and function check of the
service brake. Refer to Section 8.4.1, “Hydraulic 
Pressures.”
