Just pump it up for a bit, then turn all four manifold valves in every direction a few times, then I removed the refill cap on the pump. Careful though, open it slowly, as the pressure may cause the fluid to come blowing out. I had to do that 3 or 4 times before mine started moving things properly.glad it worked for you. I did total rebuild on the hydraulic pump and still can not get it to work. Kicker is it worked before i took it apart. How are you bleeding the air out?
Note that this may not be the best or even the correct way, it is just how I did it because I didn't know any other way.
