Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a different lift assist cylinder with MEGA imaging systems?
The additional weight of both MEGA Live TargetLock and MEGA 360 transducers affects the balance of the lift assist system. This replacement cylinder has increased spring tension to compensate for the extra weight, maintaining effortless operation.
Will this cylinder work if I only have one MEGA system installed?
No. This cylinder is specifically calibrated for the combined weight of both MEGA Live TargetLock AND MEGA 360 Imaging systems. Using it with only one system may result in improper lift assist function.
Can I install this cylinder on other Ultrex motor configurations?
This cylinder is engineered specifically for 24V 80lb Ultrex motors with 45" shafts. Different motor configurations require their corresponding cylinder models for proper operation.
How do I know if my current cylinder needs replacement?
Signs include difficulty lifting or lowering the motor, the motor feeling heavier than normal, or the lift assist not providing adequate support when both MEGA systems are installed.
Is professional installation required?
While technically possible for experienced users, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper function, maintain warranty coverage, and prevent damage to the lift assist mechanism.
