3. Place unit in horizontal position and fill
with fluid until fluid level is within 1/4 inch of
lower edge of filler plug hole.
4. Make sure that sealing ring is on filler plug,
before installing filler plug.
d. Installation
1. If a replacement unit is being installed, fill
reservoir unit with hydraulic brake fluid.
2. Connect hydraulic hoses, engage attaching
grommets in panel and connect wiring.
3. Connect battery and operate top through its
up and down cycles until all air has been "bled"
from hydraulic circuit.
4. Check connections for leaks and recheck
fluid level in reservoir.
5. Install previously removed parts.
e. Filling Hydro-lectric Reservoir
This procedure virtually eliminates discharge
or spillage of hydraulic fluid and possible trim
damage while filling and bleeding system.
1. Filler Plug Adapter.
a. Drill 1/4 inch diameter hole through center
of spare reservoir filler plug.
b. Install two inch length of metal tubing (1/4
inch O.D. x 3/16 inch I.D.) into center of filler
plug and solder tubing on both sides of filler plug
to form air tight connection, Fig. 16-124.
2. Filling and Bleeding of Reservoir
a. With top in raised position, remove folding
top compartment bag material from rear seat
back panel. Remove pump and motor shield.
b. Place absorbent rags below reservoir at
filler plug. Using a straight-bladed screwdriver,
slowly remove filler plug from reservoir.
NOTE: When installing new or overhauled
motor and pump assembly as a bench operation,
fill reservoir to specified level with hydraulic
fluid. This operation is necessary as pump
must be primed prior to operation to avoid
drawing excessive amount of air into hydraulic
system.
c. Install filler plug adapter to reservoir and
attach four-or five-foot length of 3/16 inch I.D.
rubber tubing or hose to filler plug tubing.
d. Install opposite end of hose into a container
of hydraulic fluid, Fig. 16-124.
