Q

Directions on how to install E-Cylinder

A
  1. Place cylinder gasket over yoke inlet
  2. Align pins and cylinder valve
  3. Push cylinder forward into yoke
  4. Rotate yoke arm up and over to close
  5. Turn T-handle clockwise until it’s tight and holds cylinder in place
  6. Use cylinder wrench to open or close cylinder valve.
