arm support device and remove the retaining pin.
Lower the lift arm support device on top of the lift cylinder.
Hook the free end of the spring (Item 1) [B] to the lift arm
support device so there will be no interference with the
support device engagement.                                                                   P–02118

The lift and tilt cylinders internal components are similar,
the differences are listed below:
  Tilt rod diameter is larger.
  Piston relief area is slightly different.
  No spacer in the tilt cylinder.
Hold the hydraulic cylinder over a drain pan and move the                                               P–07429
