NOTE
Use the manual bleeding procedure only if a pressure bleeder is not available.
The trailer must be connected to the towing vehicle to manually bleed brakes.
The following procedure is typical for both left and right wheels.
Always bleed the wheel cylinder farthest from the master cylinder first.
Always bleed the lower cylinder first on a dual-wheel cylinder brake.
Check fluid level of master cylinder frequently during manual bleeding procedure and
replenish as required. Failure to keep filled will allow air to enter the hydraulic system.
Refer to manufacturer's instructions for proper operation and servicing of the pressure
bleeder.
