    Bleeding hydro system

    I tried putting a few pounds of pressure into the tank and cracking the lines the pump but still had air in the system. Just wondering how to bleed the whole system before I try starting the machine. If it has air anywhere will there be air everywhere, including cylinders?

    Komatsu wa400-5L hydro's

    Hoses were goid, o rings were replaced. You are correct it does have more then one pump, the main pump was replaced. The shaft seal was replaced on the steering/ lift pump, which is the the that is aerating when trying to bleed. What's a couple pounds of air pressure gets oil to it with no...

    Komatsu wa400-5L hydro's

    I had an employee blow a hydro line, ran it pretty low on oil before shutting it down. After replacing line and refilling, the main pump was a little noisy. So I replaced with a new remanufactured Komatsu pump. Now I have no reaction on the lift or bucket. No reaction on steering either. Now...
