Cylinder removal
To remove/replace the cylinder:
1. With the engine turned-off, relieve hydraulic pressure
from the system by moving the lever on the control
valve through it’s full range of travel.
2. Thoroughly clean all dirt and debris from around the
valve.
NOTE: Any dirt or debris that gets inside the valve can
destroy it.
3. Place a suitable container under the valve to catch
any fluid that will leak out as the hydraulic lines are
removed. See Figure 5.1.
4. Place a saw horse or something similar under the
rear of the cylinder to support it. See Figure 5.2.
5. Remove the control valve by following the proce-
dures described in Chapter 4: Control Valve.
NOTE: The high pressure hose should be removed from
the base of the cylinder.

Hydraulic fluid under high pressure
can be dangerous. A high-pressure
hydraulic fluid leak or spray can pen-
etrate the skin. If this happens, seek immediate
medical attention to reduce the risk of blood poi-
soning leading to death or limb amputation.
