Gas Cylinder Pressurizing
BEFORE PRESSURIZING THE GAS CYLINDER BE CERTAIN THE FLY-
WHEEL CRANK PIN IS ENGAGED WITH ONE OF THE FLYWHEEL BACK-
ING PLATE SLOTS.
Fill each gas cylinder through the valve on the side of the
cylinder barrel with nitrogen gas.
DO NOT EXCEED 1450 PSI (100 BAR) MAXIMUM PRESSURE IN THE GAS
STRUT.
Flywheel Rotation Force - Testing
(See Figure 3-18.)
When the gas cylinder is pressurized properly, it should
take no more than 55 lb. (25 Kg) of force to turn the fly-
wheel handle in the counter-clockwise (lowering) direc-
tion, when the platform is close to fully lowered. At this
mast position the gas cylinder inside the mast assembly, is
almost fully compressed.
