off the Ball Studs without compressing or
extending the Cylinder.
14. Begin by using a 7/16" wrench to tighten
all nuts on the upper and Lower Assem-
blies. Not to final tightness, but more
than finger-tight.
15. If the distance from Ball Stud-to-Ball Stud
seems too short for the Cylinder to fit
properly, (since your MARK should be
in vertical position) you should loosen
and raise the Upper Assembly toward
the Headrest or left end of the MARK.
If the distance from Ball Stud-to-Ball Stud
seems too long for the Cylinder to fit prop-
erly, you should loosen and move the Lower
Assembly to the left, toward the Headrest or
left end of the MARK.
Once both Ball Studs are positioned so they
align with the Cylinder receptors, tighten all
Nuts to final tightness.
CYLINDER REMOVAL
In the event you find it necessary to remove
the Cylinder from the installed Lift Assist, for
the Lower Mount end just slip a small, straight-
bladed screwdriver behind the retainer clip
and pry it off. For the Upper Mount quick
release end simply reverse the order of steps
“II-c” and “II-b”.
NOTE:
Position your free hand behind the Clip to
avoid losing it in the event it pops off the
Cylinder receptor during removal.
WARNING
This Ball Stud Retaining Clip must
be popped back into position in its groove
on
the
end
of
the
Cylinder
before re-installation on the Ball
Stud. Failure to do so will cause the Cylin-
der to pop off the Ball Stud when compressed
. . . potentially flying off and causing injury.
WARNING
If the MKV Headrest Lock is not properly
adjusted – and the Work Table and Head-
stock are at the far right of the Way Tubes,
the MARK will raise itself into vertical posi-
tion, possibly causing personal injury. You
may have to make an adjustment to your
Headrest Lock to prevent this from occurring.
Refer to you Mark Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
Always remove the Gas Cylinder from the
Lift Assist before removing the headstock
from the way tubes of the Mark. Failure to
do so will result in the Lift Assist suddenly
raising the way tubes into the vertical posi-
tion, possibly causing personal injury as the
way tubes swing upward.
WARNING
Even though the Lift Assist will help to hold
your MARK in the vertical position, it should
still, always be secured in that position by
tightening your MARK’s Arm Lock Knob.
Refer to your Mark Owner’s Manual.
MAINTENANCE
The Shopsmith MKV Lift Assist requires no
maintenance other than an occasional clean-
ing with a clean, dry cloth. The Cylinder is a
sealed Mark with no serviceable parts inside.
