Cylinders
Tilt Cylinder
The tilt cylinder is mounted at the base of the front
frame. This tilt cylinder is a double acting piston type
cylinder. Extreme care should be taken when perform-
ing any type of repair. In the event of excessive oil leak-
age around the rod end of the cylinder or its inability to
tilt the load, the cylinder will have to be removed from
the truck and repaired.
Tilt Cylinder Inspection
(Refer to Figure 15301)
1. Before disconnecting battery and initial cylinder re-
pair, a careful inspection should be made of the
cylinder assembly throughout a complete tilting se-
quence.
2. Check piston rod (3) for any signs of nicks,
scratches, surface imperfections, etc. that allow
abnormal leakage, improper cylinder operation, or
create seal damage.
3. Check wiper ring (9) and complete cap area for
component wear and/or leakage that is abnormal.
As the cylinder assembly is repaired be aware of com-
ponent part condition and not only replace a worn or
damaged part, but correct or replace a part that may be
causing other premature wear.
