Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with spring-loaded mechanical assemblies. Always de-energize or depressurize the equipment before replacing any spring components to prevent injury from sudden release of stored energy. Inspect mounting hooks or attachment points for wear or deformation before installing the new spring. Do not stretch the spring beyond the rated maximum extended length of 6.77 inches during installation or operation.
