My hydraulic jack won't pump up the lift mechanism. The lever mechanism works okay and the unit is full of hydraulic fluid, but it won't pump up. This is a Prolift 3300 lb jack with wheels and the hydraulic pump is mounted horizontally.
I believe it may have air in it that needs to be bled. What is the procedure for bleeding air out of the unit?
This has happened in the past and I've always managed to get it working... but not this time. The unit is over 20 years old, but I don't want to toss it if it's still repairable.
