WARNING: To Prevent Serious Injury or Death Saltwater, granular fertilizers and other corrosive materials are destructive to metal. To prolong the life of a braking system used under corrosive conditions, we recommend that the actuator be flushed periodically with a high pressure water hose. Be sure to re-grease bearings and oil all moving parts after the unit has dried. At the end of the season, when unit is to be stored, remove the brake drums and clean inside the brakes.
Loosen the bleeder valve one turn and pump the master cylinder until the air bubbles stop coming out of the hose in the glass container, then close the bleeder valve and repeat the process on the other wheels. (Watch the fluid level in the master cylinder and refill so level does not fall below 1/2 full). Refill master cylinder every 4 or 5 strokes. Dispose of contaminated brake fluid according to local regulations. 4.
