    Note


    • Avoid touching the piston rod as much as possible to prevent foreign matter from attaching to it. Be sure to hold the cylinder while servicing.

    • Do not wear cotton gloves or other similar materials when handling the piston rod. Fibers may attach to the rod and result in gas leaks.

    • In order to prevent the piston rod from deforming, do not apply any horizontal load to the door stay.

      Note


      • Install the hood support assembly while supporting the hood by hand.
