it to connect from the lock release air cylinder to
the center of the push-lock tee fitting on the
Power Column,
Fig 16

52) Connect the rest of the 1/8” air line to the top of
the tee and run it along side the hydraulic hose
up the column and across the overhead
attaching it to the hydraulic hose with wire ties
(

53) At the Idler side feed the air line thru the lowest
large opening in the column extension and down
the column.

the power unit, install the valve cover with these
nuts, and secure the hose to the cover with black
