1) Starting Procedure

q Bleeding air from oil pump
Conduct a visual check of the clear vinyl pipes
connecting the oil pump to the oil tank to inspect for
the presence of air. Bleed hoses if necessary.
• Do this by loosening the air vent screw on the oil
pump and bleeding until all air has been removed
from the piping.
• Note that the air may not bleed out properly if the oil
in the tank is too low. Make sure to fill the tank prior
to bleeding air from the piping.
