How to Replace Power Bob-Tach Hydraulic Cylinders
Start by removing any attachments from your Bob-Tach attachment system. Next, prepare your work surface by laying a large cloth on the Power Bob-Tach. This step is important to catch hydraulic fluid and create a dry, clean work surface that protects your equipment and new hydraulic cylinder from damage.
Now, we’re ready to start:
Step 1: Use a wrench to loosen the hydraulic cylinder fluid lines but do not detach them from the cylinder (yet).
Step 2: Remove the old hydraulic cylinder mounting bolts with a socket wrench.
Step 3: Place the old hydraulic cylinder on the cloth-covered Bob-tach attachment. At this point, the old cylinder is still partially connected to the fluid lines, so use caution.
Step 4: Place the new aftermarket Bob-Tach replacement hydraulic cylinder on the mounts. Attach the mounting bolts and tighten them with a socket wrench.
Step 5: Use a wrench to remove the fluid lines from the old cylinder and attach them to the new replacement hydraulic cylinder. Make sure your connections are tight to prevent hydraulic fluid leaks and contamination.
Step 6: Test the new replacement hydraulic cylinder before remounting any attachments.
