Before continuing to a higher station, check the fluid level and
air pressure in the reservoir. If the fluid level is below half,
release the air pressure and refill to the maximum level line
and pressurize the reservoir to between 25 and 30 PSI.
If all the air is out of the system, when the reservoir is pressurized,
the fluid level will remain stable. If the fluid level drops more than
an inch and then stabilizes, the system should be purged a
second time.
