Hydraulic System Bleeding

NOTE: DO NOT allow hydraulic oil level to drop below lower indicator line on reservoir or pump damage may result. See Figure . To avoid damage during bleeding procedure, ensure cylinder rod does not touch body components or convertible top assembly when extending.
  1. Remove cylinder assemblies from outer arm and main pivot bracket assemblies. Position cylinder assemblies so cylinder rods do not touch body components or convertible top assembly when fully extended.
  2. Remove left rear compartment side trim assembly. Remove reservoir filler plug. Remove one Pink hose from pump/motor assembly and place at reservoir filler plug opening. Use a rubber plug and seal open pump fitting to prevent air from entering system. Push and hold convertible top switch in UP position. After cylinders are fully extended, continue to depress switch until hose being bled is free of air bubbles. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten hose fitting to 62 INCH lbs. (7 N.m).
