System Priming and Bleeding System priming must be done with the unit in Vertical Motor Down position. This way you can check the amount of oil that is left in the reservoir after the system has been primed and all the air is bled out of the lines and cylinders. To help you determine the optimal amount of oil in the reservoir retract all the cylinders in the system. This increases the oil level in the reservoir. Measure the distance between the top of the reservoir and the fluid inside it. Use the following chart to determine the optimum distance related to the reservoir size. ATTENTION!!
Special care must be taken to prevent any dirt or contamination from getting inside the reservoir. This can damage the internal gears and check valves of the unit and ultimately lead to lower operating pressures or drifting cylinders. When the oil is close to the required level seal the reservoir using the plug supplied. The use of Teflon Tape to seal the threads is not recommended. Instead, use pipe sealant paste on all pipe thread connections.Oil Level Measured from the End Cap
