To pump master cylinder, insert a flat tip
screwdriver into the bleeding access port on
top, near the front of the actuator cover
(See right photo and 1A below).

The screwdriver should be at the lowest angle
possible to the actuator so that it slides in
front of the e-stop bracket (See 1B).

To bleed master cylinder and brakes, install bleeder hose on first wheel cylinder to be
bled; if tandem axle trailer, bleed closest axle first, and the closest brake on that axle
first. Use a loose end of hose from the bleeder valve submerged in a glass container
of brake fluid to observe bubbling (hose must be submerged into clean brake fluid to
keep air from traveling back into the brake cylinder). Loosen the bleeder screw
located in the wheel cylinder one turn, the system is now open to the atmosphere.
