Manuals | Dixie Chopper locate your manual, then search for hydro pumps servicing & purging.

Did you try running the machine? May be air bound.

Look in the reservoir and see if there are air bubbles.

Is it possible it's idling longer than you usually let it? Could be the bypass is causing it to heat up.

I've had this before. Sometimes if you let it sit, it burps itself out.

I'd have to see the manual, but it's basic hydraulics.
