Disposal of gas springs/hydraulic units
Any gas springs and hydraulic units are primarily constructed from metal and
plastic and can be recycled.
Before disposing of the gas springs, it is important to depressurize
them and drain off the oil.
Please note in this connection:
The release mechanism must not be activated if gas springs are
removed. These devices are under pressure.
Careless release could cause injury!
-
Gas springs must first be depressurised according to the
manufacturer’s instructions before disposal. This information
can be obtained upon request from the gas spring
manufacturer (see type plate).
