Gas Spring
WARNING
Disconnect the battery by separating the battery
connector before opening the compartment cover
and before inspecting or repairing the electrical
system. DO NOT place tool on top of the battery. If
a tool causes a short circuit, the high-current flow
from the battery can cause personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING
The capacitor in the traction motor controller can
hold an electrical charge after the battery is dis-
connected. To prevent electrical shock and per-
sonal injury, discharge the capacitor before in-
specting or repairing any component. Make cer-
tain the battery has been disconnected and al-
ways wear safety glasses. See Special Precau-
tions in this section. DO NOT attempt to discharge
the capacitors by shorting the controller.
WARNING
The gas spring used on the control handle is in-
stalled under tension and can release with
enough force to cause personal injury or property
damage.
Review the following procedures before removing the gas
spring.
DISCHARGING THE GAS SPRING
WARNING
Goggles and a face shield must be worn for per-
sonal protection as metal chips and hydraulic lu-
bricant may be ejected from the drill operation
due to the high internal pressure.
CAUTION
The control handle return spring is charged with
pressurized gas and contains a hydraulic oil lubri-
cant.
NOTE:
This process is a destructive operation to the gas
spring. A new gas spring must be used during reassembly.
This is necessary because internal damage to the spring
components which are not detectable could cause damage
or injury when the spring is removed.
1.
Check that the handle return spring is installed and
properly secure the control handle arm in the full up-
right position. Remove the plastic plugs to increase
visibility of the gas spring.
CAUTION
DO NOT damage the control handle wiring har-
ness inside the control handle arm.
2.
Locate and drill a 7 mm (0.25 in.) access hole through
the center of the control handle tube, approximately
50 mm (2 in.) below the existing access hole.
WARNING
Contents are under pressure. This process may
eject metal chips and oil.
3.
Locate the gas spring inside the control handle through
the newly drilled access hole and drill a
3 mm (0.125 in.) hole into the gas spring cylinder shell
to relieve pressure.
4.
Clean up any discharged oil and dispose of in accord-
ance with local regulations.
