Depressurizing Motive Products Power Bleeder (Long)

I've used this manual power bleeder several times but the final step in its use still confuses me. See if you can offer assistance. From the Motive site; see Step #9:
If fluid remains in the Power Bleeder tank when through: tip the (Power Bleeder) tank away from the fluid pick-up tube and open the bleed valve closest to the master cylinder (Opening the brake bleed screw is what bothers me.). Allow air to flow into the reservoir until the fluid level falls just to the maximum fill level on your master cylinder reservoir. Close the brake bleed valve and tighten to the specified torque.
Dissecting this step follows below -
Tipping the Power Bleeder tank:
The fluid column in the pick-up tube can be acted on by the gas pressure directly.
Open Brake Bleed Screw Closest to the Master Cylinder:
Which bleed screw is this on the 9k? I think the right front as this is where the bleeding sequence starts (Rt. ft., Lt. rr., Lt. ft. & Rt. rr.). Thereby, venting the shortest path length to atmosphere.
Allow Air to Flow into the Brake Master Cylinder:
The gas pressure in the Power Bleeder tank will force itself into the pick-up tube and travel to the brake master cylinder as brake fluid travels out through the open valve.
Correct?
Thanks,
Rick
