Fast trac tnt q`s again.....

Sandy,

Why extend the rams with system empty? Don't have my manual handy, but it seems like that would just put more air into system that the pump will have to get rid of running in retract mode. Pump isn't really designed to pump air, so probably not good to run it dry for very long. Why not collapse the rams and then run the motor in the up position till the rams start moving. I'm not sure the reservoir is that big, so you may have to keep adding fluid till all the plumbing lines are full and the rams start moving. Denny

My poor thinking was to mount the unit first which requires extending the tilt ram almost all the way.

My floor jack wants to roll given that much difference in height. Not in a good spot to try to strap it and I`m afraid the lower will fall off the jack and crack.

It is on a block now while my brain flutters.

Thx,
