Replacing the actuating cylinder
The actuating cylinders are installed at the seat section
together with the relay arms and the return springs.
•
Pull the complete assembly out of the cheek. You will
find details under “Repairing the relay arm for the stop
panel” on page 42.
In order to replace the actuating cylinder, proceed as
follows:
•
Detach the circlip at the rear of the casing of the
actuating cylinder or the locking screws at the casing
of the actuating cylinder.
•
Pull the actuating cylinder out to the rear.
•
The second actuating cylinder is completely retracted
by means of the return spring. Make sure that the input
cylinder is completely extracted before opening the
system.
•
Re-install the actuating cylinder into the casing and fix
it by means of the circlip or by means of the locking
screws at the casing of the actuating cylinder.
•
Reassemble the complete system in reverse order.

Make sure not to let air enter the hydraulic
system when fastening the hoses. The screw
joints have to dip into the hydraulic fluid.
a
Attention!
Hydraulic hoses will not work properly if there
are kinks inside. Make sure to install the hoses
in such as way as to avoid their being kinked or
squeezed.
Final tasks
•
Check the function of the longitudinal displacement
function. Make sure that it can easily be released. If
releasing the longitudinal displacement function is
difficult, there is probably too little hydraulic fluid
inside the system. Check if there is a leakage in the
system and, if so, repair it. Afterwards remove the
actuating cylinder once more, top it up with hydraulic
fluid and re-install it.
