MID-SECTION - 5G-790-817643R1 DECEMBER 1996
Tilt Down
With the engine tilted up, the piston inside the accu-
mulator piston (d) will be at the bottom of the accumu-
lator (c) and the gas pressure is low. To lower the en-
gine, the camshaft lever (f) is rotated down, the
internal cam will cause the push rods to open the ac-
cumulator check valve (e), both fast transfer valves (h
& j) and the down slow transfer valve (i). The operator
will have to press down on the engine cowl to over-
come the pressure inside cylinder. Fluid will flow out
of the bottom of the cylinder, past both the down fast
transfer valve (h) and down slow transfer valve (i).
Fluid will flow past the up fast transfer valve (j), surge
valve (k) and through the interconnecting passage
into the top of the cylinder (l). Due to the shock rod (a),
the tilt cylinder cavities differ in volume, the extra fluid
from the up cavity [forced into the accumulator (c)] will
cause the internal accumulator piston (d) to com-
press the gas. With the engine in the correct position,
the camshaft lever is rotated up and the push rods al-
low the check valves (e, h, i, & j) to close.
