gine. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Read the General Precautions for Removing and
Installing Hydraulic System Components at the begin-
ning of the Service and Repairs section of this chapter.
3. Label all hydraulic connections for assembly pur-
poses. Thoroughly clean hydraulic connections prior to
loosening hydraulic lines from lift cylinder.
CAUTION
Beforeopening hydraulicsystem,operate allhy-
draulic controls to relieve system pressure and
avoid injury from pressurized hydraulic oil. See
RelievingHydraulicSystemPressureintheGen-
eral Information section of this chapter.
4. Disconnect hydraulic hoses from fittings in lift cylin-
derthatistoberemoved.Allowhosestodrainintoasuit-
able container. Remove and discard O --rings.

7. Remove flange head screw (item 3) and flat washer
(item 5) that retain lift cylinder to pivot s haft.
8. Remove lift cylinder from pivot shaft and frame.
9. If hydraulic fittings are to be removed from lift cylin-
der, mark fitting orientation to allow correct assembly.
Remove fittings from lift cylinder and discard O--rings.

5. Remove caps and plugs from disconnected hoses
and fittings.
6. Coat new O--rings lightly with clean hydraulic oil,
install new O--rings and connect hydraulic hoses to fit-
tings on lift cylinder. Tighten hose connections.
