6. Remove the end fitting from the rod end of the new cylinder. Use care
not to damage or scratch the cylinder rod. Dents or scratches on the
cylinder rod will cause the nitrogen gas to leak, leading to the need for
another cylinder.
7. Screw the new cylinder into the end fitting attached to the adjuster
(see Figure 16).
8. Replace the shoulder bolt attaching the cylinder to the arm. Remember
to place a spacer from step 4 on either side of the cylinder clevis.
9. Pull the rear arm down to the rear side plates. Reassemble the rear
arm to the rear side plates with the screws from step 3 (see Figure 17).
Use Loctite 242 when reassembling these screws.
Always re-adjust the arm’s counterbalance after replacing cylinders. (See pg. 8)
