Ok I used the hoist last weekend to pull a cab off a truck i had to use my truck as well but accidently over extended the hoist arm causing the bar that raise and lowers to pop out the cyl. the cyl tipped over and all the fluid drained out. i popped the bar back into the cyl but how to i put fluid back into it so there is pressure to lift n again?
So go to NAPA and buy some jack oil, find the filler hole (small screw or plug) and with a tiny funnel fill it up. Extend and retract a couple times to check function and work out bubbles.
on the side of the ram body is a rubber plug ( a screw sometimes ) remove it but first un do the mount on the jacks ram (the rod ) where it connects to the boom to hold it level then get some jack oil and fill it until it comes trickling out, cap it.Then work the jack up and down to bleed out the air repeat as necessary
