forward (extend) position (towards the front of the
cylinder) (Figure 19).
14. When the Push Plate is fully extended, push the Valve
Control Handle to the retract position and retract the
Cylinder Piston (Figure 20). The Cylinder Valve will
automatically stop the Cylinder from retracting when it
reaches the end of its stroke. Fully cycle the Cylinder 2
to 3 times.
NOTE: Extending and retracting the cylinder piston draws the
hydraulic fluid through the system and expels any
trapped air from the system.
15. Turn off the engine.
16. Remove the Hydraulic Fluid Overflow Screw from the
side of the Tank (Figure 21).
17. Remove the Hydraulic Tank Cap and slowly start
adding the remaining 40 oz. (1.2 liters) of Hydraulic
Fluid until Fluid comes out of the Overflow Screw
Hole. DO NOT OVERFILL THE HYDRAULIC TANK.
18. Wait until the Fluid stops flowing from the hole and
reinstall the Overflow Screw.
19. Screw on and tighten the Hydraulic Tank Cap.
20. Check all fittings and hoses for leaks and tighten as
needed.
