how to bleed roof system after replacing pump?

Post by johnbrander »

Going to replace the roof pump as the fluid has gone very dark in colour in the last couple of weeks, roof currently not working despite several manual open/close procedures being carried out, fluid level is correct !, pump is making all the correct noises etc but nothing happening.
As I'm going to remove the pump, air is going to get into the system and just wondering if bleeding it all out is just a matter if doing several manual open/closes or is there another way to do it
Thanks in advance

I have not had to do it, but the system is allegedly self-bleeding.

I'll give that way a go by just trying several times and take it from there if it doesn't work! and then report back
Thanks

Replaced the pump without any problems - do 1 pipe at a time so as not to get them mixed up!
Fill the reservoir and operated the roof, you do need to top up the reservoir for a 2nd time as the level will fall as it refills the pipework
Ian, the system is self bleeding thanks for that info
