Thread: Bleeding Hydraulic Diverter?

  1. #1
    GlastronGuy
    I just installed a diverter. I am trying to bleed it. The pump only makes noise going in one direction and occasionally the diverter will move just a fraction of an inch.
    Dose the pump make noise in both directions? In one direction I can hear air bleed back into the reservoir.
    How is this thing supposed to be primed?

    If its bleeding, put a Band-Aid on it!!!
    I never had to bleed mine, If your hearing air, you might have a leak at the fittings or somthing like that. Are you sure the wireing is hooked up right? The first time I did it the wires were wrong and it only went one way. Take a look at that. The unit should make noise in both directions. Mine does.!!!

    I'll double check the wiring but I believe it is correct. There is a plug at the pump so it can't be wrong there.
    As a side note, I am running it directly off the battery to eliminate voltage drops anywhere.
    EDIT
    It's wired correctly.

    GG,
    Sounds like you may have a bad solenoid on the pump. No bleeding of the lines is necessary on the PD setup.
    The pump is manufactured by Bennett for PD, and the http://www.bennetttrimtabs.com/trouble.htm website has some useful info on trouble shooting the pump.
    PD is usually pretty good about customer service too.
    Good Luck
    Rich

    Thanks for the link. I emailed and called Place.
    Do you know if "Bennettt" is Jeff Bennett?

    GG,
    I don't know if Bennett is Jeff Bennett. I know Bennett Marine is based in Florida.
    Just a stupid thought, are you sure you have enough ATF in the pump?

    It's 3/4 of the way up the hash mark.

    One more note, I wired mine according to the instructions, I called Duane at HTP (?) and he helped me, it was wired wrong. Just thought I would throw that in,

    Tim Place said the solenoid is bad,
    No diverter for Tower Park.
