tighten the bleeder screw before releasing the push rod. During this procedure, the
master cylinder reservoir fluid level must be maintained at no less than half full.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the other brake, as well as the brakes on the front axle of
tandem axles.
7. If installation is on a tandem-axle trailer, repeat the bleeding procedure on the rear axle
brakes for a second time to assure purging of all air in the system.
8. As a final check after bleeding is completed, stroke the push rod and check to be sure
the brake system is pressurized. This is done by attempting to rotate a tire around.
9. Push up on the safety release bracket to ensure that the push rod is in the released
position.
10. After the bleeding is completed, recheck the fluid level in the master cylinder. Fill the
master cylinder reservoir to the indicator on the reservoir plug. Do not overfill.
Important: Do not use brake uid drained
from the brake system to rell the master
cylinder reservoir as such uids contain
contaminants from the system that may
result in brake failure or costly repairs.

MasterCraft recommends using the trailer jack to
lift the coupling of a loaded trailer from the hitch ball,
and for moving the trailer about when it is disconnect-
ed from the towing vehicle. Rotate the trailer jack to
the vertical position and engage the locking pin before
placing a load on the trailer jack.
Like any mechanical assembly, the trailer jack re-
quires maintenance to continue functioning properly.
The drive gear and the rack-and-pinion should be
greased, and the coaster and wheel bearings should
be oiled frequently.
Failure to swing up the trailer jack before towing
may result in damage to the trailer.
Failure to engage the locking pin may re-
sult in the collapse of the jack stand, which
could cause serious injury or death.

Ensuring that a MasterCraft boat will be held securely in place on the trailer’s hull sup-
port, especially when underway, is extremely important. If the boat is not firmly and properly
secured, the boat can be damaged as it bounces against the hull supports.
MasterCraft’s Boat Buddy System is located on the winch stand. Ask an authorized
MasterCraft dealer to demonstrate the proper use of the Boat Buddy System. A separate
winch strap is provided and should be attached to secure the boat to the bow strap.
