10.4. Bleeding the hydraulic cylinders
To bleed the hydraulic cylinders of the tail lift:
►
Switch on the tail lift (see operating instructions).
►
Raise and lower the platform several times. Load the platform with the
nominal load.
►
Open and close the platform several times.
►
Extend and retract the hydraulic props several times (optional).
Note:
Special procedure for bleeding the hydraulic cylinders when the distance
between the lifting mechanism and the ground is small.
►
Proceed as described in chapter 10.5, page 68, if the distance from the
lifting mechanism to the ground is small (dimension "G" from the centre
of the stand tube/linkage mount to the ground is less than 450 mm, see
Figure 45).
