Tie Down's actuators feature a shock dampener that uses brake
fluid from the master cylinder. The dampener must be primed
before bleeding or using trailer. To prime the dampener, fill the
master cylinder with DOT 3 brake Fluid. Push the coupler into the
housing and slowly pull out 3 times, then refill master cylinder.
To pump master cylinder, insert a flat tip screwdriver into the
round hole near the front of the actuator cover. (picture 1)
Screwdriver tip will fit into the slot provided in the emergency
brake bracket as shown. Push the screwdriver forward and back
to pump the master cylinder. (picture 2).
