The problem is... it doesn't work! I verified I am getting 220V to the motor. The motor spins, but the pump never primes. I have the reservoir filled with hydraulic fluid. The directions call for iso vg 32. I am using mobil dte 24 iso 32 hydraulic oil light. Is it the wrong fluid? Or does this thing need to be primed somehow?
Looking in the reservoir it doesn't look like anything is going on. WTF??
Help!!
Thanks,

I have a Bend Pak mid rise, and IIRC, I had to crack open the hydraulic line where it attached to the lift to bleed it.
