Had the line from the hydraulic pump to the radiator get a leak. Put on a new line. Now having problems with what I believe is air in the line. Have loosened all the lines at the pump and still having some issues with steering and lift. Heard that you can prime the pump. How is that done?
Thanks

You start by removing the dipstick to the left of the gearshift and making sure you added enough oil to make up for what you lost when the line failed. Then, you unscrew the new hose/line at the pump and unthread the elbow at the hyd pump and pour several ounces of hydraulic oil in the hole. Quickly reassemble things and fire up the engine to half throttle and see what happens. If it doesn't take in 10 seconds, shut it down and try again.
