Got 12V kit, lost docs, anyone recognize this?

Yep.

The only way I have to raise the arms is to run the engine, either to use the hydraulics or to get it under the A-frame.

If the hydraulics are good, I have raised a bucket using the starter. Cranking for a few seconds while pulling the lever, stop, wait to cool the starter then repeat.

I might give that a try. But I have seen no indication that the hydraulic system has ever been given any attention other than filling.

Have it cranking when you pull the lever in and when you release the lever.
