DIRECTIONS

  1. Fully extend piston, then retract ½” to relieve pressure. This pulls fluid into the cylinder and prevents it from spilling when opening the reservoir.

  2. Remove reservoir cover and bladder

  3. Syphon fluid out of the reservoir while retracting the piston.

After fluid has been drained extend ram ½” to relieve pressure

  1. Remove the (4) bolts that hold the manifold to the pump housing. Avoid placing hands around the seam between the two, due to risk of hydraulic injection.
