Platform Leveling Master
Cylinder
The master cylinder acts as a pump for the slave
cylinder. It’s part of the closed circuit hydraulic
loop that keeps the platform level through the
entire range of boom motion. The master cylinder
is located at the base of the primary boom.
How to Remove the Platform
Leveling Master Cylinder
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.
1 Raise the primary and secondary booms until
both the rod-end and barrel-end pivot pins on
the master cylinder are accessible.

hydraulic hoses. Cap the fittings on the

Bodily injury hazard. Spraying
hydraulic oil can penetrate and
burn skin. Loosen hydraulic
connections very slowly to allow
the oil pressure to dissipate
gradually. Do not allow oil to
squirt or spray.

to the master cylinder.

master cylinder barrel-end pivot pin.
