AIR BLEEDING
Air accumulation in a hydraulic system will cause erratic action. This may appear as pump failure to the inexperienced
user. For this reason, it is advisable to air bleed each pump before attempting to operate. To remove air from the pump,
open release valve with the pump in an upright position. Operate the pump slowly through the full piston stroke about a
dozen times. Close the release valve. Pump should be ready for use.
TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
(Refer to pump Repair Section)
Pump will not hold pressure
Pump fails to supply pressure
Pump piston does not draw a full
charge. (This is evident by a cushion
effect at the top of the pump stroke.)
Pump piston raises by itself under
pressure
Pump functions properly but will
generate only a given pressure below its
normal pressure maximum
Pump fails to supply greater output at no
load than under load
