Tailgate Air Cylinder
This kit and/or cylinder is designed to allow
remote cab opening and closing of the tailgate
locking mechanism on a dump body.
Use the following steps to install the air cylinder
to the underside of the dump body:
1.
Construct a bell crank and cylinder bracket
using A and E dimensions shown on the table.
The bell crank length must cause the shaft to
rotate to the “over center” position throughout
the full travel of the air cylinder’s stroke. This
will mechanically lock the tailgate.
The air pres-
sure will not lock the tailgate. The “over cen-
ter” position of the tailgate latches provides
mechanical locking.
