2006 325 hydraulics bleeding procedure

[woogers]

I changed the hydraulic fluid and filters and now am having trouble getting the blade and cab twist to work . I'm thinking it has an air lock . the boom works and it goes forward and backwards. Any ideas on how to bleed this ? \

Did you too off the HYD fluid level after running the machine?? It could be low on fluid depending on how much fluid came out during the filter change.

Yep, the manual has this...there is a bleed zerk nipple on pump. Once the reservoir has been filled, open zerk to let out air (when oil comes out clear, close zerk). You do not want to be running your pump on air.... The pump takes oil from reservoir...it is important to keep that full to sight glass. Although, I've heard of one guy who has done so, to empty as much hyd fluid as possible during an oil change...
