4.6 LIFT CYLINDER REMOVAL
NOTE: If there is a pump failure, a crane or a forktruck can
be used to raise the platform. Refer to Figure 3-47.,
Arms and Platform Positioning and Support.
Self locking fasteners, such as nylon insert and thread
deforming locknuts, are not intended to be reinstalled
after removal. Always use new replacement hardware
when installing locking fasteners.

may be necessary to use an overhead crane or fork
truck to secure the platform and scissor arms

the lift cylinder.

erly secure, remove the top lift cylinder pin and
