5. Select the numbered hole for the pin bolt position to create the desired effect, and re-attach
struts and pin bolt to upper hinge assembly, being careful to position the spacers and washers
correctly as shown in Figure 7.6.1 Removing Strut Pin Bolt and Nylon Spacers on Upper Hinge
Assembly. NOTE: It is important to note the struts should only be installed with the cylinder
attached to upper hinge assembly and piston to lower hinge assembly.
6. Note: Struts are expected to lose from three to five percent of their original pressure annually.
Adjustments may be required periodically to ensure that hood opens and closes smoothly.
NOTE: When the strut adjustments fail to control hood movement effectively, replace struts
immediately.
7. CAUTION:
Do not overtighten the bolts attaching the struts to the hinge assemblies.
Overtightening may cause the struts to bend.
NOTE: There is only one correct hole to be used for attachment of struts to the lower hinge
assembly (shown below).
