Gas Spring
• Do not expose gas spring to excessive heat
or naked flames.
• Under any circumstances, gas springs must
not be exposed to damaging external influen-
ces or violent handling.
• Do not try to use a gas spring that exhibits
tiny dents or bends on its cylinder.
The normal operating temperature of hydraulic oil
is hot enough to cause serious burns. Use
precautions when working on any hot fluid lines or
changing filters.
Hot oil or components can burn. Avoid
contact with hot oil or components. Do
not allow used oil to drain into the
ground. Dispose the used oil properly in
accordance with the local guidelines.
Cylinder Repairs or Replacement
• When repairing cylinders, make sure to block
them up to prevent dropping or rolling off the
equipment.
Handling Fluids and Oil
• When draining fluids, make sure that
adequate sealable containers are available
and that every care is taken to prevent
spillage.
• Always make sure waste fluids are disposed
in an environmentally safe manner.
• Always make sure that used filters are stored
in secure containers and disposed of in an
environmentally safe manner.
