Platform Leveling Slave Cylinder

The slave cylinder and the rotator pivot are the
two primary supports for the platform. The slave
cylinder keeps the platform level through the
entire range of boom motion. It operates in a
closed-circuit hydraulic loop with the master
cylinder. The slave cylinder is equipped with
counterbalance valves to prevent movement
in the event of a hydraulic line failure.
How to Remove the
Slave Cylinder
1 Adjust the platform to a level position.
2 Extend the boom until the slave cylinder barrel-
end pivot pin is accessible.

Before cylinder removal is
considered to correct a
malfunction, bleed the slave
cylinder to be sure there is no
air in the closed loop
hydraulic circuit.
When removing a hose assembly
or fitting, the O-ring on the fitting
and/or hose end must be replaced
and then torqued to specification
during installation.
