Okay great. I finally got it off my trailer and drove it around some. It moves its self kind of slowly sometimes kind of fast sometimes. The hydraulic fluid is kind of milky looking. Is there a drain on the tanks some where? Also how much does it take? I noticed one side has what looks like a filler with a strainer. The other side has a filter and a bunch of hoses going into the top. I unscrewed the filter and thats where I saw the milky fluid. Also its only about half filled.

Also the brakes hardly work. I have to stand on them to slow the lift. The peddle is rock solid. I would assume they probably need to be flushed and bled as well. Are they like car brakes with bleeders at the drums?
