Hydraulic Test Program - System Pressure
Preparation for test
1. Check, and correct, if necessary oil level in reservoir.
2. Remove plastic cover over hydraulic unit.
If reservoir was empty, bleed the supply pump as follows: Disconnect the high pressure hose (P) from the steel line. With the engine running, hold the hose in a container until the oil contains no more bubbles.
