Check the Hydraulic Fluid Level
You must remove the gauge in order to check the hydraulic fluid
level.
If the hydraulic fluid level is too low, more force than necessary
will be needed to operate the machine.
If the hydraulic fluid level is high, it will create some pressure on the
gauge and it will not read zero.
To check the hydraulic fluid level or to replace Gauge:
First attach the Sidewinder to some 2-4” IPS Polyethylene pipe.
Load saddle fitting into pivot release master.
Loosen drive screw until piston is as far out of the load cell as it
can go.
Tilt Sidewinder so that gauge port is facing upward.
