Main Lift Cylinders (9600)Hydraulic Components

Installation

1.Wrap the cylinder strap around the top third of the lift cylinder.

2.To prevent the strap from slipping, place a hose clamp above and below the strap. Make sure the clamps are tight.

3.Feed a hoist block through the carriage channel and attach a hoist strap to the cylinder.

4.Using the hoist, carefully elevate the lift cylinder. Guide the cylinder so that the pin on the side of the cylinder, near the top, mates with the block on the mast main frame. The stud on the bottom of the cylinder must go through the hole in the support channel between the baselegs.

5.Clean and apply thread-locking compound (P/N1013829) to the threads of the cylinder mounting stud. Install the nut and torque to 50 ft. lb. (67.7 Nm).

6.Remove the hose clamps and strap.

7.Attach the hydraulic supply hose to the cylinder.

8.Reconnect the battery connector and turn the key switch ON. Slowly and carefully extend the piston using the lift function. Continue to elevate the piston until the piston engages the telescopic.

9. Slowly raise the carriage enough to permit removal of the safety chain and wooden block. Turn the key switch OFF and disconnect the battery connector. Remove the chain and block.

10.Using the emergency lowering valve, lower the carriage onto blocks to permit the hoses to become slack enough to be removed from the pulleys.

11.Remove the hoses from the pulleys.

12.Remove pulleys.

13.Clean and apply thread-locking compound (P/N1013829) to the threads of the top mounting stud. Install the nut and torque to 50 ft. lb. (67.7 Nm).

14.Reinstall the pulleys and hoses. Clean and apply thread-locking compound (P/N1013829) to the threads of the pulley screw.

15.Bleed the hydraulic system. See “Bleeding the Hydraulic System” on page7-74.

16.Reinstall covers.

17.Shim cylinders as required. Refer to “Main Lift Cylinder Shimming” on page7-83.
