Thread: Place Diverter Installation?

  1. #1
    miller19j
    I just bought a Hydraulic Place Diverter and the installation directions are a little vague. It has no mention of running the hydraulic lines and filling the system with hydraulic fluid. My question is do you need to bleed the lines to the hydraulic actuator and if so how do you go about that? Any input would be appreciated.

    Miller,
    I just got the same thing. I'm assuming you bleed it by loosening the compression fittings on the cylinder. Looks like 2 people are needed to do it.
    Yes/no?

    Just install the diverter and the hydraulic pump, make all the hose connetions, then fill the pump with ATF. Wire up the unit then cycle it up and down several times making sure that the reservoir stays full. After about a dozen times all the air works its self out of the system.

    Thanks that is exactly what I wanted to know.
    I wish Place would have just put that into their documentation

    When I installed my Aggressor diverter, all I did was like Toad said. It works fine.
    Also, I'm not sure about the Place, but I'm assuming it's like the Aggressor pump... use ATF.

    Let me know how you like it. That my next big purchase. What kind of switch are you using? Is it difficult to install the pump and wiring? Where did you buy it?

I am using a Rex Marine billet steering wheel mounted switch. I bought the unit from Rex as well. It looks pretty easy to install. I’ll let you know when I have finished.
