the articulated boom lift cylinder with the lower con-
nector, and knock out the pivot pin #1 with a brass
rod and mallet.
7. Remove the bolt at the pivot pin #2 connecting the
articulated boom lift cylinder with the lower articu-
lated boom, and knock out the pivot pin #2 with a
brass rod and mallet.
8. Slowly remove the articulated boom lift cylinder with
the aid of the lifting equipment.
9. Slowly lower the boom tube to stowed position with
the aid of the lifting equipment.
When disassembling the cylinder, take care to
prevent damage caused by the cylinder falling
and impacting, and also prevent the high-
pressure oil leakage due to impacting.
