CLEAN, INSPECT, AND REPAIR
WARNING
Cleaning solvents can be flammable and toxic
and can cause skin irritation. Wear protection

vents, always follow the recommendations of
the manufacturer.
Cylinder components can be disassembled to repair
the seals if damaged. Consult the Parts Manual to
select the proper cylinder repair kit for your truck.

ticity over time even when the old parts show no ap-
parent damage. See Figure 17. Clean all of the parts
of the tilt cylinder with solvent. Dry the parts with
compressed air. Inspect the parts of the tilt cylinder
for damage and wear. Replace all parts that are worn
or damaged. Replace all parts included in the cylin-
der repair kit. Use hydraulic oil to lubricate the new
seals and O-rings when installing. Be careful not to
damage new seals and O-rings when installing.
