How do you fill a hydraulic reservoir?
The Hydraulic Reservoir – Open the hood and locate the hydraulic reservoir. It will have a vented fill cap with a sight glass or fill gauge on its side to indicate the fluid level. Provide the fluid – Remove the vented fill cap and insert the oil into the fill tube and begin pumping the liquid into the reservoir.
What happens when hydraulic fluid is added to a reservoir?
If the pump is mounted below the reservoir, fluid normally floods the inlet to the pump. If pump noise indicates the pump is aerating, the system is out of fluid and must be stopped immediately to prevent the pump from being burned up.
What kind of reservoir does a hydraulic pump use?
The L-shaped reservoir configuration incorporates many of the same features as the overhead style. The L-shaped reservoir is a tall, narrow rectangular tank with the pump/motor assembly mounted beside the tank on a common base frame. This arrangement provides full access to the hydraulic pump and electric motor for service.
What’s the best way to flush a hydraulic pump?
For example, if the target is ISO 15/13/11, continue to flush the system until ISO 14/12/10 is reached. Drain the flushing fluid as hot and as quickly as possible. Replace the filters and inspect/clean the reservoir again. Fill the system to approximately 75 percent with the fluid to be used. Bleed/vent the pump.
What should I do Before I Change my hydraulic system?
Care must be taken to confirm that the system is as clean as possible prior to introducing the new fluid. Most changeover procedures suggest that some of the old fluid will need to be either drained off the bottom or skimmed off the top of the reservoir after a period of time.

Where is the hydraulic pump located in a tank?
The electric motor is mounted above the tank cover and the hydraulic pump is mounted below the cover, inside the reservoir. This arrangement allows for the overall space requirements to be reduced. Also, the pump is protected and with the inlet line extended to within 1-1/2″ of the bottom, the suction lift requirements are kept to a minimum.
