Brake Line Charge and Bleed
Prior to first use, and after replacing any components
that carry brake fluid, and during periodic flushing of the
brake system, the brake lines need to be bled.
1. Spot the machine on a level surface at a safe dis-
tance from any ignition sources (brake fluid is flam-
mable). Unless conditions are dry and calm, use a
sheltered area, to keep moisture and contaminants
out of brake fluid. Leave the tractor hitched to pro-
vide braking action to systems.
2. Unfold the machine and block the machine tires to
prevent movement. Do not set the machine’s own
parking brakes, as this restricts cylinder movement.
3. Put tractor in Park. Do not set tractor parking brake if
it also operates trailer brakes.

Never re-use brake fluid. It is hygroscopic (formulated to
absorb water, which can damage system components if not
removed). Dispose of brake fluid per supplier instructions.
