FILLING
IMPORTANT: Hydraulic fluid must be visible in the filler tube during the entire filling
procedure. DO NOT allow the bottle of fluid used for filling to empty causing the filler
tube to empty. This may introduce air into the system and cause additional filling and
purging to be needed.
Approximately two bottles (2 quarts) of approved hydraulic fluid are required for this single
station and single cylinder system. The length of hydraulic hoses required will cause the
amount to vary.
