How to refill engine hoist hydraulic cylinder?
Most hydraulic ram cylinders should have a refill plug about half way up the barrel. 1) Position the cylinder vertically, and collapse the ram all the way down. 2) With the plug pulled out, fill the cylinder with hydraulic jack oil until it drips out the plug hole. 3) All done. Place the plug back in and test the functionality.

What do you need to make a hydraulic arm and how do you make one?
First off, working with hydraulics can be extremely dangerous. With pressures up to 2500 PSI or more, if something is connected incorrectly serious injury or death could occur. Hydraulic systems should only be serviced and/or created by persons with the correct training and experience. Before you can start any building, you will have to decide exactly what you want your hydraulic arm to do. How many limbs will it have? How much weight will it move? A background in basic statics is desirable as you will need to calculate the optimum point on the arm to connect the hydraulic cylinders to to obtain the maximum amount of force from the lever. The basic components that make up a hydraulic system are as follows: -Hydraulic pump (powered by a rotating engine or motor of come kind) -Hydraulic cylinders (this is where your power and motion actually come from) -Hydraulic valves (connected to levers or solenoids to control the flow of hydraulic fluid) -Hydraulic fluid (automatic transmission fluid is very similar and would also work) -Hydraulic fluid reservoir tank (to store fluid that is not currently being used in expanded cylinders) -Hydraulic hoses and fittings to connect everything together And of course the steel or other material for the limbs of the arm itself. Other objects like a pressure gauge or safety valve would be good ideas as well. When selecting these components you need to make sure that -your motor or engine has enough power to run your hydraulic pump -your hydraulic pump has enough power to run your cylinders -your cylinders can produce enough force to accomplish what you need them to accomplish -and that your hoses and valves can handle the amount of pressure your system will be under
What should be done to correct a clutch that will not disengage on a 1994 HD sportster?
A clutch not disengaging is usually a hydraulic issue. Check your clutch fluid. Then check your clutch master and slave cylinders for leaks.
What is the difference between hydrolics and pneumatic?
Hydraulic cylinders will be linked to the bath at both ends, as the oil needs to remain pressurised to work effectively.Pneumatic cylinders have springs if they're single way cylinders, as generally they can't rely on gravity to revert back to the first stage - dual cylinders on the other hand have 2 springs so they can switch sides.That aside, the hissing from Pneumatics should just about give it away.
What does the letters eri on a motorcycle petcock mean?
I think you may find that the letters ar Pri - Prime - the position of the petcock that will allow fuel to flow freely all the time. Should only be used when the carbs are empty of fuel (eg when carbs have been drained or bike not run for some time. Leaving the petcock in this position may lead to hydraulic lock in the cylinders if your carb float valves do not seal perfectly. So only use it in this position to refill carbs if they were thought to be empty.
How do you add hydraulic fluid to hydraulic pump in the trunk?
Hydraulic fluid should be poured in the oil tank.
Would 80w90 gear oil work in a hydraulic jack?
No. Only hydraulic oil can be used in hydraulic jacks. Hydraulic oil is compressed (a requirement for use in hydraulic cylinders) so that there are no air or other gases dissolved in it. Before adding hydraulic fluid to the jack, be certain that the fluid has been sitting for at least 24 hours to avoid introducing air into the hydraulic fluid in the chamber.You should be able to purchase hydraulic oil (sometimes it will be labeled "Hydraulic Jack Oil/Fluid or Jack Oil/Fluid) in small or large quantities, inexpensively, at any auto parts store worthy of the name. It can also be purchased at some Walmarts and any heavy equipment supply stores.
Should brake cylinders be checked at a full service?
Yes, they should.
My 2ton floor jack won't lift how do you put fluid in the jack?
Should be a screw at the side of the jack body Make sure piston is in collapsed position and fill with hydraulic jack oil to this level
How can a person tell if there is abs brakes?
Abs dash light, Abs rings on the cv axles or wheel hubs, hydraulic actuator between the master cylinder and calipers/cylinders. Under extreme braking the pedal should pulsate not to be confused with rotors run out. Hope that helps out.
