Hydraulic cylinders

[Alaskanjdeere]

I'm in the middle of a TNT project and have a question about the fluid. Do I have to add fluid to the rams and valve before I attach them to the tractors system? Does the air need to be bleed? Or do I just add fluid to the tractors main tank and cycle the valve and not worry about it? I'm tying into my power beyond hose with a four section valve with a total of three 2" bore cylinders (2-12" and 1-8" stroke). Thanks for any help Shawn

There is no need to bleed the system, the air will find its way out on its own...just start moving levers around, then check your fluid level.

It will bleed out faster if you hold the control with the cylinder all the way in for a couple seconds (you will hear the relief valve operate and the pump will get noiser as they air hits it) then all the way out and hold it. Do that 5-6 times and you should be good to go.
