Platform Leveling Cylinder
The slave cylinder and the rotator pivot are the two
primary supports for the platform. The slave
cylinder keeps the platform level through the entire
range of boom motion. It operates in a
closed-circuit hydraulic loop with the master
cylinder. The slave cylinder is equipped with
counterbalance valves to prevent movement in the
event of a hydraulic line failure.
How to Remove the Platform
Leveling Cylinder
Note: Before cylinder removal is considered, bleed
the slave cylinder to be sure there is no air in the
closed loop.
Note: When removing a hose assembly or fitting,
the O-ring (if equipped) on the fitting and/or hose
end must be replaced. All connections must be
torqued to specification during installation. Refer to
Specifications,
Hydraulic Hose and Fitting Torque
Specifications.

cylinder barrel-end pivot pin is accessible.
