Make sure that cutting decks are fully lowered before loosening
hydraulic lines from a lift cylinder. If cutting decks are not fully
lowered as hydraulic lines are loosened, a cutting deck may drop
unexpectedly.
Note: To ease assembly, label all hydraulic hoses to identify their correct
position on the lift cylinder.
4. Disconnect hydraulic hoses from lift cylinder fittings. Put caps or plugs on
fittings and hoses to prevent contamination. Tag hydraulic lines for proper
assembly.
5. Remove flange head screw and flange nut that secure the pin to the lift arm.
Remove pin from lift arm and cylinder shaft clevis which will free lift cylinder
from lift arm.
6. Remove cotter pin and two (2) flat washers from one end of the clevis pin.
Pull clevis pin from frame and cylinder barrel clevis. Discard cotter pin.
7. Remove lift cylinder from machine.
8. If hydraulic fittings are to be removed from lift cylinder, mark fitting orientation
to allow correct assembly. Remove fittings from cylinder and discard O−rings.
