Quick Question on replacing dipper hydraulic hose

rdavison39 ยท 2013-07-08 10:00

My dipper hose blew (the hose separated from the coupling). Replacing it is easy enough but now i will have air in the lines. How does one go about bleeding the air out of the lines.... Thx Ron

    Hi Ron From my limited experience with blowing hoses and I am not a heavy equipment mechanic just using the dipper will force the air out. Ron

    Yep, every hose I've replaced only needed a few cycles of the cylinder to force the air out.
