I have a Manitou MT8044XT we had a hose blow out on the left rear level cylinder. We replaced the hose but now the machine won't level. The right front level cylinder does not operate at all. The left rear cylinder does operate. The fuses are good

The right front level cylinder on a Manitou MT8044XT may not be operating after replacing the left rear level cylinder hose due to one of the following possible causes:
1. Air in the Hydraulic System – After replacing the hose, air may have entered the hydraulic lines, preventing proper operation. Bleeding the system may be necessary.
2. Hydraulic Fluid Leak or Low Fluid Level – If fluid leaked during the hose replacement and was not replenished, the system may not have sufficient pressure to operate the cylinder.
3. Contaminated or Blocked Hydraulic Lines – Debris or contamination from the hose replacement could be obstructing the flow of hydraulic fluid to the right front level cylinder.
4. Faulty Hydraulic Valve or Control Circuit – A malfunctioning valve or control mechanism could be preventing fluid from reaching the right front level cylinder.
5. Incorrect Hose Installation – If the new hose was not installed correctly or is restricting flow, it may affect the entire leveling system.
Checking the hydraulic fluid level, bleeding the system, inspecting for leaks, and verifying proper hose installation can help diagnose and resolve the issue.

@Mr. Anderson thanks for the reply. We added fluid level is good. I **** quite sure from the way the machine is acting it is air in the right front cylinder. I cracked all the hoses on the right front cylinder and got air from the upper inside hose but none on the others. I could not find anywhere else to bleed the system. Thanks again
