Hi All,
There has been some confusion about the proper brake fluid for the Tri-Gear
hand brake cylinders sold in the US office for the last few years, now also
available from the UK office. The only fluid compatible with this system is
DOT 5. If you have aviation fluid, or DOT 3/4 installed then please drain
the system, flush and fill with DOT 5. Use of any other fluid will cause
the seals to fail.
If you are having difficulty bleeding the brakes with Dot 5, I have also
been able to get the air out by bleeding from the top down.
Hope that helps!
