Check the following components for leaks and damage:

• Brake master cylinder

• Make sure the dust caps are on the brake fluid bleed valves.

-- Make sure the brake hoses are not twisted.

-- Turn steering to left stop and to right stop. During this operation no brake hose must touch any vehicle components.

-- Check brake hoses for porosity and cracks.
