Adjust the new cylinder end damping and replicate them to mirror the old hydraulic cylinder.
Make sure the hydraulic cylinder connection holes are aligned in the correct direction.
Lift the hydraulic cylinder and fasten it into place.
Tighten the fasteners of the hydraulic cylinder.
Remove the protective plugs.
Fasten the hydraulic hoses or pipes.
Remove the lifting equipment from the hydraulic cylinder and/or remove the supports.
