Tilt Cylinders
Remove & Install Tilt Cylinders
NOTE: The procedure for removing and installing
the tilt cylinders is the same for both cylinders.
If both tilt cylinders are removed at the same
time the mast can fall. To avoid possible
personal injury, make sure the mast is securely
held in place or supported by a hoist before
removing the tilt cylinders.
To prevent personal injury, move the control
levers backward and forward to release any
pressure in hydraulic system. Slowly loosen the
cap of the hydraulic tank to release any pressure
in the tank. Be cautious of hot hydraulic oil when
any lines are disconnected in the hydraulic
system.
