Steering Cylinder Removal and Installation - Greensmaster 3100 (Fig. 39)

Figure 39

1.Disconnect the hydraulic hoses (Item 28, 29) from steering cylinder (Item 33). Put caps or plugs on all the fittings and hoses to prevent contamination.

NOTE: To ease reassembly, tag each of the hoses to show their correct position on the steering cylinder.

2.Remove jam nuts (Item 21) securing cylinder end to castor fork (Item 19).

3.Remove locknut (Item 26) and washer (Item 27) to remove cylinder from frame.

IMPORTANT: Before installing the cylinder make sure the distance between ball joint centers is

14.4in. with cylinder rod completely retracted. Loosen jam nut and adjust ball joint if necessary, then tighten jam nut.

5.After installing the cylinder, start the engine and turn the steering wheel left and right from lock to lock several times to get air out of the cylinder.

IMPORTANT: When disassembling hydraulic lines make sure hydraulic plugs are placed in the open end of the hydraulic line to prevent foreign debris from contaminating hydraulic oil. It is also a good idea to tag the hydraulic lines when disassembling so they can be properly reassembled. Keep all hy- draulic lines clean and free from foreign debris. During replacement of steering cylinder, avoid over- tightening fittings. Check hydraulic lines for cracks or breaks. If a hydraulic leak should appear after replacement of lift cylinder, replace the fitting or line that is leaking. Check hydraulic reservoir for level of hydraulic fluid after replacement of lift cylinder.
