Inspect the guard and the roller arm valve. Lift the guard. Make sure that the tension shock holds the
guard in the raised position. Connect the unit to the air supply. Turn power on and turn the control lever
to the ON position. The cylinder should not move while the guard is raised. Lower the guard. Confirm that
the cylinder operates while the guard is lowered. Turn power off and disconnect the air supply.

Repair areas where the finish has been damaged. Use steel wool or a steel bristle brush and a slightly
dampened cloth to remove rust. Apply touchup paint to the affected areas once they are dry.
