Air may be trapped in the system, especially when operating the roof manually, after replacing one or more
components of the hydraulic system or if the low fluid level is too low. The system is a closed circuit which
is self-bleeding in normal operating conditions. Sometimes, however, manual bleeding may be necessary,
especially after work carried out on the hydraulic system. ALWAYS check for leaks or damage to the
components before working on a system that requires bleeding. If air is found in the system but there are
no other problems, it is NOT necessary to replace any components.

damage to the tank.
