Purge Procedure For Two-Wheel Steer
Personal injury or death can result if two persons are

not used in the following procedure.
Escaping fluid under pressure, even a pinhole size

leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing serious
injury, and possible death. If fluid is injected into
your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury.
Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a

leak.
