a. REMOVAL:

Some hoses may contain small amounts of trapped hydraulic pressure. Wear protective clothing including

a face shield, head gear and gloves. Fine streams of hydraulic fluid under pressure cannot be readily

seen but can easily penetrate the skin causing severe personal injury. Use extreme caution and be alert

whenever breaking into a hydraulic system.

Hydraulic fluid may be extremely hot. Allow the SPEMS to stand fifteen minutes before breaking into

hydraulic system.

(1) Tag cylinder ports and hydraulic hoses for ease of identification during installation.

(2) Using two wrenches, disconnect hydraulic hoses (1 and 2, Figure 3-40). Drain waste hydraulic fluid into a

drip pan.

(3) Remove two retaining clips (3) from retaining pins (4) at each end of cylinder (5).

(4) Remove two retaining pins (4), one at a time, and remove cylinder (5).

b. INSTALLATION:

(1) Thoroughly clean retaining pins (4) and lubricate with a light film of GAA grease.
