The hydraulic system is self-bleeding. Top off the tank, run the gear up and down a few times, and then add fluid as needed. You tell by the pump sound when there is air in the system, and it's easy to tell when all the air has been purged. Also, have lots of rags ready and watch for leaks. It's almost a certainty that one or two fittings will have to be tightened (guess how I know this). That goes for both the wheel wells and the under-seat area. Good luck, Adam Molny -----Original Message----- >Can someone give me a procedure to refill my system properly before I test the gear? What fluid is recommended? Berni Breen
