I see conflicting info when I search this topic, and the manufacturer’s website (Arcan) offers no tips, users manuals, etc.
What is the best way to service one of these? Got it at Costco years back, at least 10 (the photo I copied below is that old). Now it is doing this:
- only providing lift the last few inches of arm travel
- not lifting very high
I imagine it is low on fluid and has air in the system. I have fresh clean tractor hydraulic fluid by the gallon on hand; no issue there. What is the proper proceedure to fill and bleed it? (Link is fine if someone knows of one - like I mentioned I keep seeing contradictory things when I search this topic).
It is this model (oil pic pulled from web):
