Safety Precautions
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury or death.
• Read and understand the Operation Manual completely before operating this unit.
• Always wear proper eye and skin protection when operating and maintaining this
equipment.
• Only disassemble or reassemble unit parts when directed by an RTI representative.
• Clean any spills that may occur immediately. Brake fluid is corrosive and is a high slip
hazard.
• Avoid exposure with painted surfaces. Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage the
finish on most painted surfaces. Use of fender covers is recommended.
• Always use vehicle specified brake fluid. Failure to do so may cause brake system damage. The
BFX is designed to use DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. Use of any other fluid type is not recommended
and may void warranty.
• Comply with local, state and federal regulations for fluid disposal.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be obtained on all chemicals and placed in a shop
file for reference. Note: MSDS can be found on the RTI web site www.rtitech.com.
• It is important to test drive every vehicle after the service to verify proper brake system
operation. Failure to do so could result in undetected brake system failure.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the precautions as outlined in the Operation Manual can result in
damage to the engine, vehicle or equipment which will not be supported or covered
under warranty.

System Priming (First Time Use Only)
Note: System Priming is only necessary before the first time use of the BFX.
Connect red (positive) clamp on power cable to red (positive) terminal on vehicle battery. Connect
the black (negative) clamp to a good ground. A good ground can be located by following the negative
cable from the battery to where it is connected to the chassis.
Warning: Handle battery connection cable with extreme caution. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid or
other automotive battery is dangerous. Wear eye protection. Never smoke or allow
a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery. Do not connect the black power clip
to the negative post of the battery to avoid a spark.
