Abstract

A lineis provided with a linecommunicating the lineand a hydraulic oil tank. The lineis provided with a throttleto construct a throttle-provided line. When air is trapped between the hydraulic oil tankand the hydraulic pump, the hydraulic pumpis driven to discharge the air from the throttle-provided lineto the hydraulic oil tank, thereby removing the air in the hydraulic circuit. When the air is removed, resistance caused by the throttleis increased, which makes hydraulic oil flow from a pilot pumpto a PPC valve. Since the throttle-provided linerealizes air removal with a simple structure, a hydraulic cylindercan be supplied with the air-removed hydraulic oil from an initial stage, thereby enhancing responsiveness of the hydraulic cylinder
