Always “ease” the cover to the Open
and Close Position to avoid “Slamming”
thereby prolonging the service life of
your cover.

NOTE

Inspect your Gas Spring Lock. This device
should pivot freely to its locking position,
preventing the Gas Spring from compressing.
If this does not occur, make sure the
installation is correct. Review Gas Spring
Installation steps.
