A Motive is operable from under the car...You are supposed to put it on the
Res. and pump it up to (Forget, but I use about 20psi in mine)...then you go
under and it takes care of the "pumping" for you. I check the pressure when
I "come up for air" between bleeding sites..to make sure it still has a few
Lbs and the fluid level in the Motive is still adequate.
What, you want a remote switch to pump it up without having to touch the
handle while relaxing on your creeper, pretending to be at work?...grin,
joke.
