Hold the cylinder body (front mount cylinder) or rod (side mount and
inboard cylinders) to prevent it from moving. Do not use anything
other than your hands to hold the cylinder or rod, or you may damage
the cylinder.
Slowly turn the wheel (no faster than two seconds per turn)
counterclockwise until a steady stream of fluid with no air bubbles
comes out of the bleed fitting.
If there is an autopilot pump in the system, manually run the pump to
port for at least ten seconds, longer if bubbles are still coming out of
the bleed fitting. Refer to the installation instructions with your pump.
Close the bleed fitting and let go of the cylinder or rod. Move the
purge tube to the other bleed fitting.
