Lift Cylinder Repair

1. Barrel
2. Nut
3. Uni-ring seal
4. Piston
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage when clamping the
cylinder barrel in a vise, clamp only on the pivot end.
Do not clamp the vise jaws against the smooth shaft
surface. Protect the shaft surface before mounting
in the vise.
1. After removing the cylinder, pump the oil out of the
cylinder into a drain pan by SLOWLY moving the cylin-
der's piston in and out of the cylinder bore.
2. Plug the ports and wash the outside of the cylinder
with cleaning solvent.
3. Mount the cylinder in a vise so the shaft end of the
cylinder is tilted up slightly. Do not close the vise so
firmly that the barrel could become distorted.
4. Use a spanner wrench to rotate the head and remove
the retaining ring (Fig. 99).
