Step 1 : Insert the head of the cylinder body through the hole in the top of the sliding damper body.
Step 2 : Tighten the top of the cylinder with the big counter nut.
Step 3 : Attach the base of the cylinder to the body using nuts, counter-nuts and spacers.
IMPORTANT :
Make sure that the cylinder is aligned with the body to ensure proper blade movement and
avoid premature wear of the components.
Step 4 : Pull the sliding damper blade completely out (make sure that the hole in the middle of the blade is
aligned with the pipe pieces of the sliding damper body).
Step 5 : Pull out the cylinder rod, pass it through the hole at the top of the sliding damper blade, and tighten
the two counter nuts using a bit of Loctite.
