when i brought it all the way up into trailer position , i kept pushing the switch ,finally after a few maybe 8 seconds the 20 amp fuse blew then the hydraulic fitting came undone [ hose i made up] and fluid went every were . it is a brand new pump . im wondering if there is a trim limit switch or some sort of way to wire it to stop at the top . im doing my own wiring . any help would be appreciated . its a 290 Volvo out drive

i will next time .i was excited it was working and it went up .then kinda hesitated a few seconds then went up into trailer mode i guess . it went pretty high i was happy then the dang fitting came loose and hydraulic oil squirted straight in my face and all over me . i thought it was maybe bleeding it self too.do Volvos have trim limit switches
