They are sensitive to oil viscosity and can take a while to pump if the oil is to thick or contaminated. Drain some oil from under the unit and see what you have. Yes, it is possible for the vanes to stick thus no pumping. [Reply]   [No Email]

I did let it run for 1/2 - 1 hour, and tried to keep working the lever, thinking that if it warmed-up enough and I worked it enough...... (someone thought perhaps air could be in the cylinders/system)... but I didn't get anywhere. At least the oil at the dipstick appeared low viscosity, especially after it warmed-up (of course). I'll take your advice, and try to find a drain and see what's there. Any idea where it's located on that specific unit. [Reply]  [No Email]
