Operation is unsteady For rams that do not have an air
bleeder, operate back and forth several
times at low pressure and low speed to
bleed the air. For rams with an air
bleeder, remove the load to reduce the
Air pressure then loosen the air bleeder
and completely bleed the air.
Note: The ram may expand if it is
stopped suddenly. This is due to the
compression of the hydraulic oil. This
occurs especially with long stroke rams.
