    • Do not perform work if the vehicle hood is not securely supported.

    • The hood could fall, resulting in injury.

    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.

    • Do not push sideways on the cylinder because the rod may bend.
