Information

When filling the hydraulic system, proceed with utmost care to ensure that dirt does not get into the system.
Before unscrewing the screw plug, place a cloth underneath the hydraulic unit to catch emerging hydraulic oil.
The hydraulic convertible top uses a closed hydraulic system. In general, the hydraulic system will need to be filled only if the hydraulic circuit was opened (after parts replacement). Only Original Porsche hydraulic oil → OIL must be used when changing or topping up the hydraulic oil.

Fill the hydraulic pump.
