GENERAL MAINTENANCE
AIR BLEEDING PROCEDURE
1. Press the “UP” button and allow the unit to raise 10 – 12 inches. Press the
emergency stop button.
2. Crack the bleed screw on top of the first stage side until clear oil (no bubbles) comes
from the cracked bleed screw.
3. Tighten the screw; make sure no oil comes from the screw when it is tightened.
4. Clean up any spilled oil. Used oil should be discarded as it may contain flushed
contaminates from the line.
NOTE: A small amount of air may remain in the cylinder, but it will be flushed
back to the reservoir after a few operations of the system.
WARNING !
To avoid serious injury or death, GUARDS, INTERLOCKS, and SAFETY
DEVICES must be restored to correct operation when installing parts or
making repairs.
