1st, did you put the little amount of air it needs yet?

It is a pretty easy process. hook everything up, put fluid in, lift the ends up so air can escape (lean them against the wall) and then run the pump till fluid comes out. Doesn't take much. then lay them on the ground and run it all the way up & down a few times till it's in sync.

What you are trying to do is get the fluid into the cylinder, it will push air back out if there is any.

Best thing to do is watch the multitude of videos on youtube, so much easier when you see someone do it.

Yes, I got the air cylinders at 45.
Ok, I was questioning cause the manual doesn't say to turn it on to bleed the air.
I'll check out some videos, thanks
