1st Identify your leveling system… 

There are two four point system types: central pump (one 

pump with a manifold and valve assembly to the left of the motor) and the quad pump (four smaller power 
units). 

Then follow the manual by looking for titles of your specific system. Start with mounting the cylinders, then 

tank assembly, install hydraulic hose and wiring harnesses, electrical controls, finally hook to battery, test and bleed 
lines.
