Subject: Bleeding of lift cylinders.

Background: Due to the design of some cylinders the air won't evacuate without bleeding.
It's important to bleed them after the machines has been assembled or if
the lift cylinders has been drained of oil for some other reason.
Otherwise it might affect the performance of the machine
and it might also damage seals etc.

Action: Make sure that the mast (lift cylinders) are lowered all the way down.
Open the plugs/bleeder nipples highlighted with arrows on the pictures below,
lift slowly until all the air is out of the cylinder.
Close the plugs/bleeder nipples.
