STORAGE

It is recommended that the chain be removed from the machine, cleaned and stored in oil over the winter

months.

Pivot drum until the cylinder is retracted. Ensure cylinder is full of oil. If cylinder is not full of oil, hydraulic

cylinders and lines are filled by holding the valve control levers in the extended position until the cylinder fully

retracts and extends.

1. Replacement cylinder head and butt seals must be available before beginning disassembly as they will be

damaged during the procedure. The piston seal may also be subject to damage during disassembly.

2. Secure the cylinder snugly in a vice. Do not over tighten the vice or the barrel will compress.

3. Locate the slots at either end of the barrel. The cylinder head will be removed first.

4. Using a thin blade screwdriver, insert the blade into the end of the slot near the cylinder head and pry the

retaining wire up slightly.

5. With the screwdriver under the wire, rotate the cylinder head to thread the wire out. The cylinder head can

be turned with a pin wrench in the holes provided, with a pipe wrench, or with a strap wrench.

6. Thread the wire completely out of the barrel. Note which hole in the cylinder head that the wire was

inserted in (there are 4 holes in the cylinder head. When reinstalling the cylinder head, the wire must be

inserted in the same hole and the wire must be installed in the opposite rotation from removal (i.e. If the

cylinder head was turned clockwise to remove the wire, it must be turned counterclockwise for installation).

This will ensure correct port orientation.

7. With the cylinder head wire completely removed, disassembly can continue. Ensure that the ports at both

ends of the cylinder are open to the atmosphere. Insert a long pin or a bar through the pin hole on the shaft

mount. Use this bar to fully extend the shaft. A hard pull should dislodge the cylinder head from the barrel.

8. Continue to pull on the shaft until the o-ring on the cylinder head becomes lodged in the slot in the barrel.

Insert a knife in the slot and cut the o-ring and back up seal. These seals can be threaded out through the

slot in the barrel.

9. Continue to pull on the shaft. The cylinder head, piston and shaft will pull free from the barrel.
