9. Fill hydraulic tank to FULL HOT level mark on sight
gauge (Figure 2-21
).
10. Bleed hydraulic tank sight gauge hose:
a. Disconnect hose at bottom of gauge.
b. Allow hose to hang straight down into a container.
c. Allow oil to flow freely from hose until oil is clear (no
air bubbles in oil).
d. Reconnect hose to gauge.
11. As tank is filling, monitor bleed port on top of suction
tube (Figure 2-20
). When clear oil appears, install plug
using Loctite sealant with Teflon.
12. Monitor pressure gauge port on top of charge filter
manifold (Figure 2-20

hydraulic tank to filter manifold. Install pressure gauge
fitting when clear oil appears.

open bleed port at outlet fitting while cranking engine
momentarily — do not start engine. Continue to bump
engine starter until oil appears at bleed port. Install bleed
port fitting cap.
