How to Bleed a Hydraulic Press

Whether you're a first-time user or a seasoned pro, proper set-up and regular maintenance are essential for ensuring your hydraulic press operates smoothly and efficiently.

It’s recommended to bleed your hydraulic system before installation and periodically after use, to purge any air pockets that may enter the system and affect performance or cause unnecessary damage. By following the simple instructions in our step-by-step guide, you'll not only enhance the performance of your press but also extend its lifespan.

I accidentally allowed some hydraulic fluid to leak out of the rear bleed valve. I must have had it on a slight downward slope. Now only one of the two hydraulic ramps attached to the pump goes all the way up. How do you refill the pump with fluid? Do you just unscrew the rear bleed valve and fill from there?

You’ve forget to mention the most important bit. The end with the opening and closing valve must be lower than the other end. I kept trying to bleed mine for ages not realising that.

In this video clip, the hand pump should be above the system or ram pump and loss the release valve then pump it 20 times 😅
