Tie Down Drum Brake Kit - Manual (Page 3)

Each wheel cylinder must be bleed until all air is out of the lines. Replenish the brake fluid during the
bleeding process so the level does not fall below half full level in the master cylinder reservoir. When bleeding
and testing is completed, make sure master cylinder is filled the reservoir and filler cap is securely in place.
(6b) When using drum or disc brakes on tandem axle trailers, both axles must be installed with brakes, Failure
to install brakes on both axles will result in loss of braking performance, overheating of brakes & wheel hub,
and significantly reduce brake pad life.
WARNING
Brakes should always be flushed with fresh water after using trailer in corrosive conditions. This
includes salt water, fertilizers and other corrosive materials. Before storing trailer remove brakes and
clean thoroughly. It is also wise to repack the bearings at the same time.
WARNING
DO NOT REUSE BRAKE FLUID. Always use fresh DOT 3 fluid from a fresh container. Failure to maintain
proper levels of fluid will cause brake failure.
