7.3 Replacing the Gas Struts
The pushchair is fitted with two gas struts one either side of the seat. A release lever located
at the rear of the backrest operates the struts.
WARNING: - The gas struts are pressurised devices and therefore, are potentially
dangerous if mishandled. Do not attempt to dismantle or repair them.
They must always be replaced as a complete unit.
Removal
1)
Extend the gas struts to their maximum length by holding onto the front of the seat
frame with one hand then operate the release lever with the other hand and slowly
allow the gas struts to extend to their full length.
2)
Loosen the locking nut on the gas strut
at the operating lever end using a
17mm spanner.
See picture “A”.
3)
Remove the screw holding the gas
strut to the inner frame using a 4mm
Hexagon key and 10mm spanner.
See
picture “B”
Note the position of the
nylon spacer and plain washer.
4)
Unscrew and remove the gas strut
from the release lever assembly.
