cylinders must have both couplers connected

Fully hand-tighten all couplers. Loose coupler connections can block the

2. Bleed air

rom the cylinder as shown below.

S

ingle-acting cylinders: Position the cylinder so that the plunger is pointed down and the

c

y

linder is lower than the pump. Full

y

extend and retract the c

y

linder 2 or 3 times.

Double-actin

g

cylinders: Lay the cylinder on its side with the couplers

up. Fully

extend and retract the c

y

linder 2 or 3 times.
