6.3.1.3. Placing Cylinder Back Into Service
Loctite PST #567 pipe thread sealant or equivalent is
recommended.
Do not use Teflon tape on hydraulic
threaded connections. Tape fragments
may damage hydraulic system.
Autoquip recommends replacing any NPT fittings that have
been disassembled due to their inherent design for sealing.
1. Check that lift anchors are tight (when used). Check all
pins and other mechanical and hydraulic connections.
2. Restore oil level. See oil recommendations in “Oil
Requirements” section.
3. Turn on electrical power and press “UP” button. Loosen bleeder plug at the top end of ram casing and
operate pump to remove trapped air from ram. When clear oil appears, tighten plug and raise lift
slightly to disengage maintenance locks.
4. Lower lift completely and hold “DOWN” button for 60 seconds to allow air in cylinders to bleed back
into reservoir.
5. Raise lift to 25 – 50% of full travel, then lower and hold “DOWN” button for an additional 60 seconds.
Repeat procedure 8 – 10 times.
6. Clean oil fill breather cap.
6.3.2 Bleeding Air From System
1. Bleed air from system by raising lift to 25-50% of full travel,
then lower completely.
2. Hold “DOWN” button for 60 seconds.
3. Repeat procedure 8-10 times. If this does not bleed all air
from system, contact Autoquip.

environmentally safe manner.
