The gas struts are intrinsically maintenance-free. However,
they are subject to wear that can be reduced by regular
maintenance.
The gas struts may be used within a temperature
range
of -25°C to +60°C.
The service life, functionality and safety depends to
a large extent on the regular maintenance/care of
the gas-struts.
WARNING
Removing gas struts
The gas struts are under high pressure. People may be
injured in the event of improper installation / removal - risk
of impact or crushing!
Observe the safety warnings on the gas struts.
Take note of the instructions provided by the gas strut
manufacturer.
Have worn/defective gas struts replaced by qualified
personnel only.

gas pressure struts (Fig. 7 /2).
Loosen the top (Fig. 7 /1) and bottom (Fig. 7 /4) screw
connections.
Check the screw connections on the consoles
(Fig. 6 /1 and Fig. 6 /4) for firm fit and rotary function.
Exchange worn gas struts in pairs.
Only use gas struts of the same type – take note of the
force information.

Do not aim the water jet directly at the gas struts
while spray-cleaning.
Keep films and paper packaging away
(electrostatic charging).
Do not scratch or paint the piston rod or treat it with
corrosive media (abrasives).
Clean the ball bearing (Fig. 8 /1) on the console and
regrease if necessary.
Clean the piston rod (Fig. 8 /3) with a clean cloth.
Only lubricate the piston rod with grease in emergencies
to make the piston rod move freely.
- Wipe off excess grease.
