help- been fighting this thing,,,,,,,,,,had to completely evacuate the hydraulic system, it takes fluid to a point, then i have to manually bleed the system by lifting the motor up several times manually in order to add more fluid. problem is, at some point it builds enough pressure to prevent raising manually, but there's still too much air in the system for pump to drive the o/b up ?????? what to do

When adding fluid, fill the resevoir with the motor in the full up position. The cyclinder(piston) has to be extended to reach the correct level of oil.<br /><br />Hope this helps,<br /><br />Dymo
