BLEEDING AIR FROM HYDRAULIC TANK

After replacing oil and filter element or cleaning strainer, bleed the air from the circuit.
When changing the oil in the hydraulic tank, or removing the piston pump, or removing the piping of the piston
pump, bleed the air in the following way after assembling.
After bleeding air from piston pump, bleed air from hydraulic circuit.
BLEEDING AIR FROM PISTON PUMP
NOTICE
If the air is not bleed completely, the piston pump may be damaged, so always carry out the air bleeding
operation correctly.
Before bleeding the air from the piston pump, check that the hydraulic is filled with oil up to the top of the sight
gauge. (If the oil level is low, add oil.) The cap of the hydraulic tank remains removing, until the air bleeding of the
piston pump finishes.
Leave the hydraulic tank cap off until the air is completely bled from the piston pump.
