Section Gas Spring
Chapter 4: Removal, Replacement, and Adjustment Procedures
Replacement
WARNING:
With little or no weight on it, the back section could rise quickly. Make
sure you fully control the lift of the back section. Failure to do so could
cause personal injury.
1.
Raise the back section, put the
new
gas spring (G) into position, and install
the top headed pin (B).
2.
Lower the back section to the horizontal position, and install the bottom
headed pin (E) through the gas spring (G) and frame bracket.
WARNING:
Do not use retaining rings that are overextended. Personal injury and
equipment damage could occur.
3.
Install the retaining rings (A) and (F) into the grooves of the top and
bottom headed pins (B) and (E).
4.
Install the solid rivet (C) that secures the release handle to the gas
spring (G).
5.
Install the push nut (D) onto the solid rivet (C).
6.
Do a check on the adjustment of the release handle (see “Adjustment” on
page 4-43).
Adjustment
1.
Raise the back section to approximately 45°, and apply a downward
pressure on the side of the back section that requires the adjustment.
2.
Squeeze the back section release handle (I) located under the back section
(see figure 4-21 on page 4-42) or (see figure 4-22 on page 4-42). The back
section release handle (I) should activate before the handle comes in
contact with the back section frame.
3.
Make sure the back section release handle (I) operates correctly. If
adjustment to the gas spring is necessary, loosen the jam nut (H) at the top
of the gas spring.
