Lift Cylinder Installation
1. Remove the lift cylinder packaging and inspect it for damage.
2. See Figure 8-8. Thread the locknut on the new cylinder rod, then thread the clevis all
the way onto the new cylinder rod and lock it in place with the locknut.
3. Unsnap the clevis pin clip from the clevis and remove the pin.
4. Install the cylinder through the square opening in the roof of the feed center, then
carefully guide onto the flange.
5. Reinstall with the matching letters aligned. Secure the cylinder with the four
M8x30 screws.
6. Connect air tubing to the cylinder:
• 6-mm tubing from Down regulator to upper flow control valve.
• 6-mm tubing from Up regulator to lower flow control valve.
• 6-mm tubing from solenoid #3 SOL326 to the cylinder lock.
7. Rotate the E-Stop button on the feed center control panel clockwise to release it and
turn on feed center power and air.
8. Lower the cylinder clevis down the the lance carriage, which should be resting on the
stop bolt at the bottom of the V-track rail.
9. Connect the clevis to the lance carriage with the clevis pin. Snap the pin clip around
the clevis.
10. Install the proximity switches on the cylinder at the same positions as on the old
cylinder:
• LS306: Hopper position
• LS307: Box position
• LS308: Purge position
11. Adjust the position of the purge proximity sensor (LS308).

LED lights.
b. Note the position where the LED turned on, then continue sliding it in the same
direction until the LED turns off.

and secure it in place.
NOTE: Refer to

(LS306).

seconds full travel in each direction.
