Ok, First you take the propane tank off. Then you take the propane tank bracket assembly off of the counterweight. Take the radiator cover off, it is between the hood and the counterweight. Then at the very bottom of the counterweight there is a big bolt that bolts the counterweight to the frame of the lift. Take that bolt out. Then there should be 2 fairly large holes in the top of the counterweight. Run a strong chain down one of these holes and back out the other hole. This is how you will pull the counterweight. Then with another forklift, over head crane, or a hoist with a 2 ton capacity or greater pull up and back on the counterweight. The counterweight sits on hooks made on the frame of the lift. When you pull the weight and reinstall be very careful and go slow as damage to the radiator and or exhaust system may occur. This is how I would pull the counterweight.
