Fit air chamber (35) onto mounting plate and secure into position with locknuts (31) and washers (32).
Note :-
If new air chamber (54) is to be used, the push rod needs to be cut, prior to fitting, to
same length as on original air chamber. This is because air chamber manufacturer
supplies chambers with push rods to suit all applications.
When fitting diff. lock air chambers ensure that air chamber push rod is fitted in line
and operates at 90 to mounting bracket.
This is to ensure smooth operation and avoid jamming up problems in service.
