ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
ADJUSTING A STANDARD COMPRESSION GAS SPRING WITH A RELEASE VALVE
observe the movement. Care should be taken on this first compression. The
supplied force in the spring might be so great that damage could occur to the
part to which the gas springs are attached. For example, if the springs are
attached to a sheet metal lid.
from the body end (the piston chamber). There may be a threaded stud
located in the body that will also need to be removed, please note that this
stud has a hole drilled on one end of it to fit over the valve. The valve can
now be seen by looking down into the gas spring.
Screw in the release valve key until you can feel the tip of the valve. In one
flowing movement turn clockwise a quarter of a turn and immediately turn
anti-clockwise a quarter of a turn. The sound of escaping gas should be
heard (it is best to carry out this procedure in a quiet environment).
