Refil point for hydraulic slide

Hi, I need to add some hydraulic fluid that operate the main slide and jacks on a 2001 Beaver Contessa Naples---anyone know the location of the refill point?

Thanks,
Mike
  • We have the Lippert jacks and hyd slides. Our fill point is on top of the tank which is connected to the pump. It feels like you need a wrench to take it off. I was able to remove it by hand.
  • Old-biscuit,
    Thanks for the information, I'll check that, does that mean removing the panel?
    Slide was really slow then stopped all togethdr, after searching i found a fluid leak in a bay, did a temporary repair now need to add fluid to check operation just haven't located the reservoir to add fluid.
  • Look in the engine service center behind the oil and transmission dip stick for molded panel......reservoir should be behind that panel

    You may be able to see it from the rear compartment door where the fuel and hydraulic filters are located.

    Why do you think you need to add fluid?
  • Thanks for the reply, I found the pump---followed the sounds and could feel the pump running but could not find a reservoir or fill point at the pump???

    This is my first pusher with slides so I'm not that acquainted with the system and didn't get a manual with the RV.
  • Follow the sound of the hydraulic pump. The fluid can is located on one end of the pump housing.
