Hydrualic Fluid Reservoir

[Bikedaddy]

As always, I know that I can count on this website to give me the answers that I am looking for.

The M/H is a 2001 Holiday Rambler Endeavor and I have 2 questions.

1) The small black tank in below the oil dip stick has no labels on it and as close as I can figure when looking at my owners manual this is a hydraulic fluid reservoir tank. The large hose that comes from it goes to a large unit on the side of the motor that I am thinking is the power steering unit, a smaller hose, ½ or 5/8 runs towards the front of the coach, and another hose from the unit on the motor also runs towards the front of the coach.

2) The black plastic cap on the top towards the back of the reservoir has the words on it that say tighten. When I touched this cap it was loose and not tight. The question I have on this is this cap suppose to be tight or is it also a breather cap and should not be screwed down until it is tight?

Pictures below should help ID the items that I am talking about.

It should be tight. You are right. This is the hyd. reservoir.

Mine isn't exactly the same but it is the hydraulic reservoir. The cap is the fill/dipstick. It should be tight unless you are removing it to check the fluid level. On mine if you unscrew it too far the stick will unscrew all the way and fall into the tank. In mine there is a stack of filters that should be changed along with the fluid at intervals called out in the user manual. On mine the system powers the power steering and the radiator fan on the side radiator. I changed the filters and fluid in mine last year. You might get a more specific reply by going here. They have a lot of contacts to help if a member needs it. ramblin_pushers : For Holiday Rambler Diesel Pusher Owners
