Add Hydraulic Fluid
The Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir on the Power Unit must be filled with Hydraulic Fluid or automatic
transmission fluid
before you begin normal operation of the Lift.
When you receive the Lift, the
fluid reservoir is empty.
The Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir holds approximately ~ 3.7 gallons / ~14 liters .
The Power Unit will not work correctly until the reservoir is filled with approved Hydraulic Fluid.
Approved fluids are any general purpose ISO-32, ISO-46, or ISO-68 Hydraulic Fluid, approved
automatic transmission fluids such as Dexron III, Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV, or any synthetic
multi-Vehicle automatic transmission fluid.
⚠
WARNING Do not run your Power Unit without Hydraulic Fluid; you will damage it.
To fill the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir:
1. Remove the Reservoir Cap from the top of the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir.
Take care to
keep contaminants out
of the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir when filling it.
Some reservoirs look slightly different. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
2. Fill it with approved fluid; approximately 3.7 gallons / 14 liters
Use care to keep the fluid clean when filling the Reservoir.
Important : If 3.7 gallons / 14 liters does not seem like an appropriate amount for the Reservoir
on your Power Unit, fill the Reservoir up to the MAX line on the Reservoir or to
.5 in / 12.5 mm under the Reservoir Cap if no MAX line is present.
3. If the Reservoir is low, add approved fluid until the fluid level is at least at the minimum level;
maximum level is best.
If your Reservoir does not have MAX/MIN markings, full is approximately .5 in / 12.5 mm under the
Reservoir Cap.
4. When the Reservoir is filled, put the Reservoir Cap back on.
