this procedure for both support bolts on the transport-lift
cylinders. See Figure 5-4.

inder support brace (2), bolted to rod end cylinder
casting.
2. Screw on three 1/2-inch jam nuts (3) and one 1/2-inch
washer (4) as shown. Tighten first jam nut against cyl-
inder support (2) and run other two jam nuts on nearly
all the way.
