Pump Bleeding Instructions
1. Bleed your manual steering system
according to the manufacturer's
instructions. When you have completed
the bleeding, leave the equipment for
the bleeding procedure attached to your
hydraulic steering system.
2. Fill your highest reservoir completely.
Turn the steering wheel just past the
stop to press as much oil as is possible
into the system.
3. If you can, use a bottle of recommended
hydraulic oil and a piece of plastic
tubing to add extra capacity to your
highest reservoir.
Adding Capacity
The manufacturer of your system may
provide these items when you purchase
a bleeding kit for your system. If you
have a helper, have them watch the oil
level in the highest reservoir and refill it
when necessary.
4. Your hydraulic cylinder rod is now fully
extended in one direction. To bleed the
Reversing Pump you will be extending
the cylinder rod in the other direction.
Open one and close the other bleeding
screw just as you did when bleeding the
manual part of your system and you
were extending the cylinder arm in this
direction. Generally, you close the
bleeding screw or nipple closest to the
rod which is now retracted. Open the
bleeding screw closest to the now
extended rod. See diagram on following
page.
5. Position yourself so that you can see
your hydraulic steering cylinder while
operating the Controller.
6. You will be able to move the steering
cylinder rod by pressing the Red Key or
the Green Key on the Controller. When
you press the key, the lights will stop
blinking and the red or green light will
turn on. Extend the rod as far as it will
travel in the other direction.
