6. Connect lower end of Lift Cylinder. The Base end
(lower end) of lift cylinder will mount into the turret under the
boom mount. The Cylinder will have to be extended to
connect, If cylinder has to be extended the best way is to
unplug the ends of the lift cylinder hoses where they come
out of the boom, these will be the # 6 hose with the Orange
Tie and the # 6 hose with the orange / White Tie. When
pulling (extending or collapsing cylinder) always put the
opened end of the hoses into a clean drain pan as oil will
run out of the cylinder when extended or collapsed. After
installing the cylinder lower mounting pin re-plug the hoses
that were in the drain pan until ready to connect hoses.

stall the head onto the boom will be shipped installed in the
