CAUTION
Aircanbecometrappedinthehydraulicsystemwhenconnectinghosesandtensionerstoa
hydraulicpump.Refertothehydraulictensioner’sinstructionstodetermineifbleedingtheair


Step#5:Activatethepump’sswitch.

Step#6:Slowlyturnthehydraulicpressureknobclockwiseuntilthetargethydraulicpressureis
reached.

Step#7:Oncethetargetpressureisreached,performthestepsrequiredbythetensioner’s
