Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with mechanical spring assemblies. Ensure the mating assembly is fully depressurized or de-energized before removing or installing extension springs, as stored tension can cause unexpected movement. Use appropriate pliers or spring hooks rated for the load; avoid overstretching beyond the maximum extended length, which can permanently set or fatigue the spring.
