special technique to bleed a two stage jack?

[dungbeetle]

I've read all the threads on bleeding jacks. I can't seem to get the second stage of my two stage transmission jack bled... anybody got any ideas here?

On occasion in necessary to "assist/prime" 2 stage transmission jacks, IRC the procedure is to tip/lean (about 45 degrees, not all the way) the jack over on the pump side and pump the handle with it in the release position, then close the release, continue to pump and sit it upright all in one motion.

Obviously the oil level needs to be checked prior to this procedure and if you continue ue to lose prime or notice air intrusion into the system, you need to verify the seal condition.

What he said. I just downloaded the manual for my HTJ-1000 transjack, and it had that procedure in the manual for "priming" the jack.
