Initial Setup Continued
Bleeding Air from the System
After all connections are made, the hydraulic system must be bled of any trapped air. See Figure 5. With no
load on the system and the pump vented and positioned higher than the hydraulic device, cycle the system
several times. Check the reservoir fluid level and fill to proper level with Power Team hydraulic fluid as
necessary. If there is a problem contact the Power Team.
IMPORTANT : Some spring return cylinders or rams have a cavity in the rod which forms an air pocket.
This type of cylinder or ram should be bled when positioned upside down or lying on its side with the port
facing upward.
