Securing the Upper Gas Spring
-
Push the safety rod
toward the steering servo housing as far as possible to lock the lower pivot pin in place.
-
If necessary, pivot the upper gas spring
toward the lower link of the mount so the base of the gas spring aligns with the safety rod and mounting holes.
NOTE: If you must rotate the gas spring so the base aligns with the mount, rotate the spring in a clockwise direction only. Rotating the gas spring in a counter-clockwise direction may loosen the fittings. -
Align the single hole on the base of the gas spring
with the safety rod, and press down.
The screw holes on the base
should align with the holes on the bottom of the mount.
-
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the base of the gas spring to the lower link of the mount using the included screws
.
