Lift Cylinder Replacement
The replacement lift cylinder listed in the
Parts
section of this manual does not include
the flange and fasteners, clevis and clevis pin, or proximity switches. Re-use your existing
components, or order new ones as needed.
Lift Cylinder Removal
1. Lower the lance assembly onto the purge manifold. The lance carriage will be
positioned against the stop bolt.
2. See Figure 8-7. Unclip the clevis pin (3) from the clevis (1) and pull the pin out of the
clevis and carriage plate (2). Do not lose the pin, as you will need it to install the new
cylinder.
3. Raise the cylinder to the full up position.
4.
Turn off the feed center air supply and power by pressing the E-Stop button on the
control panel. This relieves the air pressure and mechanically locks the cylinder in
place.
