to prevent the hydraulic system from being contaminated.
A.
ED (Electric Double Acting) Power Unit: See Dwg. 6096 (Bi-rotational power unit)
1. Install the short hydraulic hose to the full/base end of the cylinder. Connect the long
hydraulic hose to the rod end of the cylinder. Direct hoses to the right of the frame.
2. Install the ED (Electric Double Acting) Power Unit (6136 Bi-Rotational) on the
outside of the frame just forward of the right rear front spring hanger. Put 1/2" pipe
spacers 1-1/4" long between frame and power unit, if required. Bolt through frame
and pipe into side of power unit - use 3/8"-16 bolts, 3/8" washers and lock washers
(2 each required). Be sure not to drill through cables running on inside of truck
longsills. Connect the short (pressure) hose and long (return) hose as shown on
Dwg. 6096.
B.
ES (Electric Single Acting) Power Unit: See Dwg. 6133B
Install breather #40226 into rod-end port of cylinder. Install hose to the full/base end
of cylinder. Mount power unit to truck frame with 3/8"-16 bolts, 3/8" lock washers and
washers on inside of truck frame to prevent interference with side of truck bed.
NOTE: Be sure hoses are not crimped and use cable ties to secure hoses in a safe
manner between cylinder and power unit.
NOTE: Check hydraulic fluid level in power unit reservoir. If fluid is required, use Dextron
II - ATF, mobile DTE 13 or equivilent. Fill 3/4" from the top of the reservoir.
