Bleeding the Hydraulics and Final Adjustments
At 26:00 in
Installing My BendPak XPR-10AS Two Post Lift From Summit Racing! Is It Worth Doing It Yourself?
What happens here
The presenter lifts a heavy vehicle (Cadillac Escalade) onto the lift. This is done to bleed the hydraulic system and wear in the nylon pads. He notes that new lifts can be a bit 'jumpy' initially until they are properly broken in. After bleeding and cycling the lift several times, he demonstrates the smooth operation by lifting and lowering the arms. He confirms that the missing pulleys (ordered from a local supplier after issues with BendPak direct order) and retainers will be installed later. He mentions that the power unit is on the wrong side due to an assembly mistake, but it's a minor inconvenience.
Goal: Bleed the hydraulic system and perform final operational checks.
