SSQA Snow Plow

[Amvcane]

Quick question.
I am running hoses for a Meyers plow mounted on a ssqa plate. The cylinders are single action. Do I need to fill the SA cylinders with fluid before hooking up?
If I mount the plow, lift it up and dump the curl so the plow and cylinders are verticle with the connections up, will that help? Or am I way overthinking this? Its my first use of SA cylinders.

over thinking it, just hook it up, move it back and forth a few times with the control and it will bleed out.
on that note, you really should have a crossover relief valve so as not to blow a seal if you should happen to catch one corner.

Thanks Dave, figured it out.

Definitely consider that crossover valve. Dont want to have a big pile of snow in your drive with it half plowed and blow a hose and cant get out

If it’s a Meyer plow, I would drain the cylinders if they have their funky-lookin blue fluid in them.
