Basic principles for safe operation
Exercise caution when handling gas springs and accumulators
WARNING
Gas springs are under high pressure. Improper
removal results in an elevated risk of injury.
For ease of operation, various functions on the truck
can be supported by gas springs. Gas springs are
complex components which contain high internal
pressures (up to 300 bar). They may under no
circumstance be opened unless so directed, and
may be installed only when not under compression.
If required, the service centre will depressurise the
gas spring in accordance with regulations before
the removal. Gas springs must be depressurised
before recycling.
– Avoid damage, lateral forces, buckling, tempe-
ratures over 80°C and heavy contamination.
– Damaged or defective gas springs must be
changed immediately.
– Contact your service centre.
WARNING
Accumulators are under high pressure. Improper
installation of an accumulator results in an elevated
risk of injury.
Before starting work on the accumulator it must be
depressurised.
– Contact your service centre.
