Attaching Beam

For shipping purposes, the pressure hose is attached to the pump on the engine and to the control valve on the cylinder.

Disconnect the pressure hose from the adapter on the pump.

Stand the wedge, beam, and cylinder assembly upright with cylinder toward the top. An assistant may be helpful.

Remove cotter pin and clevis pin from welded brackets on beam assembly and move the reservoir tank assembly in position against the beam.

Insert clevis pin just removed through brackets on beam and reservoir tank assembly. Secure with cotter pin by bending the ends of the pin in opposite directions.
