NOTE
Gas struts should not be installed if they have been damaged through mecha-
nical manipulation.
• Welding on gas struts as well as dirt or paint on the piston rods can lead to
failure of the units.
• Avoid modifications, manipulation, impacts, tensile loading, heating, pain-
ting over or removal of imprints.
• Do not install defective or improperly handled products.
NOTE
If gas struts are no longer needed, they must be disposed of in an environmen-
tally appropriate manner. For this purpose, they will be drilled out to allow the
compressed nitrogen to escape and to drain the oil they contain. See also
