Corrections - a. Air can enter the system if the fluid level is low, see problem 2, part a, or if
the suction tube is disconnected, see problem 2, part f. Also air may enter
through fittings, which are not tightened properly, so check for any leaks
around fittings or hoses. Once the source of the air is determined, the
cylinder must be bled of all air. Most air can be removed from the system
by lowering the gate to the ground to relieve all pressure from the
cylinder, unpinning the cylinder and cycling them back and forth several
times from fully extended to fully retracted and allowing the pump to
bypass through the relief valves for a few seconds in each direction.
b. The flow control provided is rated at 1.5GPM or 3.0GPM. The arrow on
the flow control must point away from the cylinder, designating the
direction of the controlled flow. Correct as needed.
c. Remove and disassemble the flow control and check for excessive wear
and contamination. Clean as needed and reassemble. If this does not
correct the problem replace the flow control.
