Step 2

: Lift both sides of the battery, so that the battery remains level. To facilitate level lifting, attach tie wraps or

other NONMETALLIC material (for example, two short lengths of nylon rope) to the terminals; then lift both sides

simultaneously (see Photo 3). The cylinder hose will be visible through the opening in the base of the battery box

after the batteries are removed. See Photo 4.

DO NOT create a path between the terminals by connecting the tie wraps (or sections of nylon rope).

Step 3: Disconnect the cylinder from the lower retaining bracket: 1) Disconnect the hose from the bottom of the

cylinder with a 16mm wrench (see Photo 5); 2) To prevent leakage from the hose, pull the free end of the hose into

the battery box (shown in Photo 7); 3) Remove the snap ring from the pin (see Photo 6); 4) Pull the pin out of the

bracket and cylinder.

Step 4: Disconnect the cylinder from the upper retaining bracket: 1) Remove the snap ring from the pin that extends

through the piston rod (photo 8); then 2) Remove the pin (see Photo 9) and collect the bushings.
