When I lower the motor it makes a wear noise. As I lower it it jerks up and down. I was told to raise it and leave it an hour to minimize bubbles. Then to add fluid to it. I did it and everything work well for a couple of days. Now it started again. Some guy told me I have to bleed the air bubbles like when you do a brake job. Well I did not find a bleeding valve nor could find anything related in the service manual. Can somebody give me some advice in how to repair it. Thanks in advance!!

Like power steering in your car its self bleeding if you operate it from one extreme (up) to the other(down). Top up with fluid. Do it a few times.

Tilt motor all the way up and lock it there, open , fill, close. Unlock, lower motor all the way down. Now back up, lock, fill, close, lower. Repeat, repeat, repeat..

Use Dextrin II auto trans fluid, or power steering fluid.
