Deadman Pedal

It looks like The Pedal controls an master cylinder, similar to a car. When the pedal is depress, it should remove the brakes and press a switch that starts the motor. The cylinder does not travel far enough to activate the switch. I check the fluid level and it was really low, I refilled it and still not working. Do i have to bleed the system? I notice a bleed screw on the cylinder?

I Could not see an fluid leeks either


Thanks

Bleed away air. might require new master if it ran dry for long. if it doesn't want to bleed try bleeding at the master cylinder pressure fitting it can lock air in there sometimes and you have to release that air first then bleed at the slave bleeder.

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
