This document provides instructions for removing and installing the lift cylinder on Caterpillar 262 skid steer loader models. It describes releasing hydraulic pressure, disconnecting hydraulic lines, removing retaining pins, and lifting out the cylinder. Safety information is provided regarding contained fluids and preventing contamination. The process differs slightly between 236/246 models and 252/262 models but involves disconnecting lines, removing pins, and lifting out the cylinder using proper equipment given its 70 lb weight.

Removal Procedure
Start By:
A. Release the hydraulic system pressure. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Hydraulic
System Pressure - Release".
B. Tilt the cab. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Cab -Tilt".
Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil.
Hydraulic oil pressure can remain in the hydraulic system after the
engine has been stopped. Serious injury can be caused if this pressure is
not released before any service is done on the hydraulic system.
Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered, oil is cool before
removing any components or lines. Remove the oil filler cap only when
the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with
your bare hand.
NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair
of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers

3. before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.
Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop
Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Note: Put identification marks on all lines and on all cylinders for installation purposes. Plug all
lines. This will help to prevent fluid loss and this helps to keep contaminants from entering the
system.
