Center Ram Removal

Is there a simple way of removing the center ram on this model where you will not get crushed by the reach portion of the lift. I assume you have to extend the fork reach mechanism to its full out position in order to gain access to the center ram components.. ie. the hoses and the base piping.. Also how long does it take to do this job?

You take the whole reach carriage off.
Lower it onto a pallet jack or blocking to slack chains.
Unhook chains and hoses.
Pull lift lever until the the center channel section raises and clears the carriage.
Roll carriage out or back up truck.
Now you can get at the lift cylinders.
