3. High-Pressure Nitrogen Gas Safety, Rod-Down Mounting & Installation Warning

CRITICAL HIGH-PRESSURE CYLINDER SAFETY WARNING: Gas struts contain nitrogen gas pressurized up to 150+ bar (2,200+ PSI). NEVER puncture, drill, saw, heat, incinerate, or attempt to disassemble any gas spring—rupturing a pressurized cylinder causes explosive metal fragmentation and severe injury. Never attempt to compress a high-Newton gas strut by hand against your body or floor outside of a properly mounted hinged lid. Mandatory Rod-Down Orientation & Maintenance: Always install gas struts with the thinner piston rod pointing DOWNWARD when the hatch or canopy window is in the closed position; this keeps the internal lubricating oil bathing the main rod seal and maintains hydraulic end-of-stroke damping. Never paint, scratch, clamp with pliers, or apply abrasive cleaners to the polished piston shaft, as surface nicks immediately shred internal rubber seals and cause rapid gas loss. Always prop heavy tailgates or canopy doors securely with a mechanical support brace when replacing struts. Strut Co is not liable for injuries resulting from tampering with pressurized cylinders, unpropped hatch drops during installation, or seal failure caused by upside-down rod-up mounting or shaft scratches.
