Entrance Cylinder

The entrance cylinder in each pod is a double ended cylinder. The shorter stroke (2”) end of the
cylinder is pneumatic and used for rapid movement of the arm when performing the wig wag on
the back of the car. The longer stroke (4”) end of the cylinder is hydraulic and uses an air over
oil system for smooth controlled movement of the wheel when penetrating the side of the car.
1) Turn off the main air and the main water supply.

Note: Take a note of the color airline to each fitting, airline routing and Reid switch wiring.
Note: A picture using your phone could be very helpful here.
