With the hand pump elevated above the level of the tool,
and the tool in an upright position, open the hand pump
release valve causing any air that is within the system to
be forced up through the pump and vented into the oil
reservoir.
Repeat this process three further times to ensure that
all air is removed from the system. The tool should now
reach full working pressure.
Disconnect the hand pump from the hydraulic hose,
grip the baseplate of the hand pump body in a vice with
the pump body vertical and the main handle at the top.
Remove the four nuts holding the main handle and lift off.
Grip the refilling plug with pliers and extract it by pulling
and twisting simultaneously. Ensure the reservoir body
is held down when removing the refilling plug as pulling
up on the reservoir body will release the bladder within,
and oil may spill out. Fill the reservoir to the top with a
premium quality hydraulic oil of the grade 15 cSt. Reinsert
the refilling plug, wipe away any oil, and reassemble by
reversing the disassembly process.
