TROUBLESHOOTING

hydraulic fluid to the ridge of white reservoir. Recommend FlameOut 220

When I put the door down a little or make to the top of the filter but does not crush; Pump is just blowing air

| ****

1. Improper air connection

2. Lack of lubrication

3. Water in line causing piston freeze

| 1. Make sure air is properly connected to the unit.

2. The unit may need more lubricating fluid. Disconnect the air line from connection on the top of the pump and fill with additional lubricating fluid. Reattach the air line to pump and run a few cycles on the unit by closing and opening the door several times (2 Lines go into the pump, 1 goes to block – return line, DO NOT remove. 2 line goes to reservoir – take off and add hydraulic fluid.)

3. Fix with water catcher on line and FRL.
