How do you unlock stabilus lift mat?

To unlock, the support tube is swiveled back into the central position. The lock of a gas spring with the lock on the inside is comparable with the mecha- nics of a ball point pen. A light push on the piston rod in the extended position locks it; a quick movement in the extension direc- tion releases the lock.

How do I install universal lift support?

It is best to install the shaft end of the support first place ball socket on the support end over the ball stud. And press firmly.

Where is the part number on a stabilus lift O Mat?

To find your gas spring, enter the number of your gas spring in “Type”. The number is listed in the red square and consists of six digits or 4 digits and 2 letters. The number to the right is the pressure (here: 900N).

Which way should a gas strut be installed?

– The gas strut should always be fitted with the piston pointing down. – Use suitable end fittings and angle joints to avoid coupling jamming.

How do you install lift arms?

Use your flat-head screwdriver to pry the clips loose at both ends of the support. Be careful and wear eye protection. Because these clips are under tension and can pop out quickly and unexpectedly.

How do you compress a lift strut?

Put a couple twists in it just to secure it so that it doesn't slip out of position. After you compress the strut with the pipe clamp then bring the a pair of baling wires.

Why won’t my gas struts compress?

If your gas strut will not compress you need to let more gas out of it. The pressure is too high for the strut to compress under the weight of the door. If all the gas has been released out of the strut and it still won’t compress it is likely that your struts have been overextended.
