Removal [04/2018 -]: Procedure

  1. REMOVE HOOD SUPPORT ASSEMBLY 
    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 apply any horizontal load to the hood support assembly in order to prevent the piston rod from deforming.
    1. Using a screwdriver with its tip wrapped with protective tape, slightly raise the 2 stop rings as shown in the illustration.
