pipe bender

hey all i have one of these benders,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/12-TON-HYDRAULIC-PIPE-AND-TUBING-BENDER-RETAIL-300_W0QQitemZ220133851574QQihZ012QQcategoryZ63702QQcmdZViewItem

and i need to change the oil in it, for the life of me i cant work out how you do it Confused theres a drain plug at the bottom but if you try put oil in it just oozes out the top even with the rod fully extended. do i take the top of the piston off and just fill it up with oil and screw it back on?! cheers

I am assuming you just wont to top up the oil.

Normally just lye it down as if you were using it, there is a fill hole with a rubber bung about in the middle of the outer casing.

Add hydraulic oil till it pumps all the way out reliably as in not sucking air.

Don’t try and totally fill it or there is nowhere for the oil to go when the piston retracts.
