    • 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.
