System Priming

Note: The System Priming Procedure is only necessary before the first time use of the

BFX or when changing brake fluid types. Between normal operation cycles, this
procedure will not be necessary.

1. Connect red (positive) clamp on power cable to red (positive) terminal on vehicle battery.

Connect the black (negative) clamp to a good ground. A good ground can be located by
following the negative cable from the battery to where it is connected to the chassis.

Warning: Handle battery connection cable with extreme caution. Batteries generate

explosive gases during normal operation. Working in the vicinity of a lead-
acid or other automotive battery is dangerous. Wear eye protection. Never
smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery. Do not connect
the black power clip to the negative post of the battery to avoid a spark.
