I don't know where your reservoir is located but on my Silverback I used a paper cup to add fluid. Maybe not the best solution but it worked for me.

Turkey baster from Wally World with about an 8" 1/2" O.D. tubing on the end.

I have a manual lube pump that I had purchased from Amsoil to facilitate in fill up compartments such as differentials and so forth. This will work will also on the hydraulic tank with no mess.
