To properly bleed the brake system on a Hyster 5-ton forklift, start by ensuring the forklift is on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged. Locate the brake bleeder valves on each wheel cylinder, and begin with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder. Use a clear tubing connected to a catch container; have an assistant pump the brake pedal several times, then hold it down while you open the bleeder valve to release air and old fluid. Close the valve before the pedal is released, and repeat the process until you see clear, bubble-free fluid. Ensure to check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder throughout the process and refill as necessary.
