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 (see drawing below), 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 about half a
turn counterclockwise before using the Power Unit. If you do not, the excess
pressure could damage the pump or cause the Fluid Reservoir to overflow.
2. To loosen a Breather Valve, turn it from one quarter to one half turn
counterclockwise .
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 during
transport.
Make sure to loosen the Breather Valve again
before using the Power Unit at the new location.
