HOOD SUPPORT INSTALLATION

Note


  • As much as possible, avoid touching the stroke portions of the rod to prevent foreign matter from attaching to them. Be sure to hold the cylinders while servicing.

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

  • Do not apply any load to the cylinders in the horizontal direction in order to prevent the rod from being deformed.
