    Problem Solving Q: The gas spring won't hand-compress.. has it "frozen up?" A: The design and construction of the gas spring's internal parts won't allow it to "freeze up."Each gas spring contains a significant amount of pressure, so they cannot be compressed by hand. Please refer to assembly booklet,page 6-step 12.
