Hi all I blew one of my hydraulic hoses to the main lift cylinders and run fairly dry on oil. Have repaired everything now and refilled the oil but still no movement. How do I bleed the hydraulic system. Thanks

    Depending on what you mean by fairly dry, the pump may already be damaged. I would loosen the output line from the pump and see if there is any oil movement, You can do this at the filter also.

    I will try that. Working away at the moment wont get to look at it for another 2 weeks.
