approximately one foot.
46) Start with Idler side first. Slowly and carefully
loosen the bleed plug on top side of the cylinder
just enough to allow the entrapped air to escape.
Repeat for power side.
47) Raise lift 6 inches. Repeat previous step until no
air comes out of the cylinders.
48) Pressure test hydraulic system. Energize power
unit, raise lift to full rise and continue to run
motor for additional 10 seconds. (NOTE:
pressure relief will make a high pitch squeal
sound for these 10 seconds.) Check hydraulic

out through the wiper when the lift reaches full
rise.)
If lubricant is not wiped clean from the
cylinder rod, the cylinder will apear to be
leaking
