i have my cousins digger, he knows nothing about maintaining it.
we had a hydraulic hose burst which was easy to replace. I now need to fill up the hydraulic reservoir. Found the filter and the cap i pour into. Seems the fluid drops through two small holes in the cap fill part. Its way to slow and im wondering if i am getting an air lock.
running the machine and filling only works to a point. Running the machine and moving the arm seems to suck hydraulic fluid in.

this cant be the way. I dont have the manual and i am unaware of a bleed valve, can anyone give me any advice, it cant be that difficult to refill the hydraulic reservoir

regards

Edward

which hose burst and how much oil did you actually lose - as in a little or a LOT ?

its a low pressure hose coming off of the hydraulic block, by the gauge i probably lost 80% of the fluid

Can you pull the filter out to give direct access into the tank?
