Step 7: Attach Gas Struts to Lid
a. Lay the lid down on packaging material so that the front of the lid
is face down. Be sure to use packaging material under the lid so
that it does not get scratched or damaged.
b. Locate the (2) openings near the Top Panel Stiffener.

the smaller piston end is down. Insert the male portion at the
cylinder end of the gas strut into the opening near the top lid
stiffener. Tighten to secure in place.
