4.
Remove the hydraulic breather cap/dipstick.
5.
Insert the end of the bleeder tube (clear
hose) into the tank so that the end is submerged
in the hydraulic fluid.
6. Connect the tool to the proper power supply.
7.
Set the main power switch to the “ON”
position.
8. Turn the selector switch to the “JOG”
position.
9a.
Depress the safety foot switch. The fluid will
start to flow through the bleeder tube (the fluid
should contain air bubbles).
9b. Continue to run the fluid through the
bleeder tube for at least five minutes. While
doing this, lightly tap on all of the steel hydraulic
tubes to free any trapped air inside the walls.
9c. Once the fluid flows through the bleeder
tube without any air bubbles, continue to run it
through for another two to three minutes. After
this is complete, release the safety foot switch.
10.
Remove the bleeder tube from the tee fitting
and tank. Install the plug back into the tee
fitting. Make sure air is not allowed back into the
tee fitting while doing this.
11. Fill the tank with new hydraulic oil
approximately 3/4 – 1 " /20 – 25 mm) from the
threaded neck of the tank.
