After making all the connections then:
-
Remove the filler/breather cap and fill the reservoir with hydraulic fluid approximately 1” from the
top (see hydraulic fluid recommendations)
- Connect the remote pedant/power switch unit using the quick connects provided
- Keep an eye on the fluid level in the reservoir when operating the power unit. Insure the that
the fluid level doesn’t go lower than ½ full during initial startup. When the cylinder is fully
extended on the jack and/or hoist reservoir should be about ½ full.
- See bleed cycle procedure when operating the hydraulic system for the first time. Air will be
induced into the system and that air needs to be removed.
-
If needed refill the reservoir so it is approximately 1” below the top of the reservoir
- Replace the fill/breather cap
- Best to store the remote pendant/power switch in the tow vehicle when not in use to help
preserve this piece
