Check the Breather Valve
If your Power Unit has a Reservoir Cap with a Breather Valve, you need to loosen the Breather Valve
before using the Power Unit. It ships tightened, so that no contaminants will get inside.
If your Power Unit has a Self-Venting Reservoir Cap, you do not need to loosen it.
To check the Breather Valve:
1. Determine what Breather Valve is on your Power Unit:
• Reservoir Cap, with Breather Valve. The Breather Valve comes from the factory
tightened. You must loosen it before you start using the Power Unit.
• Reservoir Cap, Self-Venting. There’s nothing to loosen; proceed to the next section.
⚠ CAUTION If you have a Reservoir Cap with a Breather Valve, you must loosen it before using
the Power Unit. If you do not, you could damage the pump.
2. To loosen a Breather Valve, turn it from one quarter to one half turn
counterclockwise .
This moves it to the open position, allowing air to move into and out of the Fluid Reservoir.
3. If you are going to move the Power Unit to a different location, tighten the Breather Valve before
you move it. This helps prevent fluid from leaking and contaminants from getting into the Fluid
Reservoir.
Make sure to loosen the Breather Valve again
before using the Power Unit at the new location.
