6.4.2.3 BLEEDING
1. After connecting the pipes, start the engine and let it idle for approximately 10 minutes (see "3.3.2 STARTING
THE ENGINE").
2. Extend all cylinders 4-5 times, stopping them at approx. 100 mm from the end of stroke.
q
If the engine runs at maximum rpm or if the cylinders are brought to the end of stroke soon after starting,
the air sucked in by the cylinders may damage the piston gaskets.
3. Slowly make all cylinders reach the end of stroke for 3-4 times.
4. Press the optional equipment control pedal a dozen times to bleed the equipment circuit completely.
q
If the equipment bleeding procedure is explained in the specific manual of the equipment supplied by its
manufacturer, follow the instructions contained therein.
5. Once the bleeding operation has been completed, stop the engine and wait at least 5 minutes before starting
work.
6. Make sure that there are no oil leakages and clean any dirty surface.
