STEP 2: With hose end disconnected, place a cap on end of hydraulic hose to prevent oil loss and reduce the risk of air entering the hydraulic system
STEP 3: Remove bolts that secure pump to the trailer
INSTALLING NEW PUMP
STEP 4 Secure Pump: Place new pump on brackets and secure with bolts and nuts.
Reconnect hydraulic hose to the pump
STEP 5 Removing Linkage Pin: Remove the nut & bolt securing the yoke to the linkage pin.
Linkage pin will drop once

DAMAGE
PISTON
STEP 7 Priming the Pump: With the piston assembly removed, fill the piston cavity with approved fluid as outlined in the service manual. Fill fluid to 1” from top.
Reinstall piston & yoke. Reattach linkage pin to yoke with nut & bolt.
STEP 8 Open Filler Port: Take out the dip stick.
DO NOT FILL WITH CYLINDER EXTENDED.
STEP 9 Filling Pump Reservoir: Remove the vent plug. Fill the reservoir with fluid using the filler port. Once fluid is seen entering the vent cavity, pump is full.
