CAUTION: With the top panel bracket detached from the lifting platform, the bracket will be loose atop the gas lift. Ensure that the bracket does not contact the top flange. Marring of the soft surface of the flange may result.

5.Turn the enclosure frame rightside-up.

6.Remove and retain the 9/32-inch nut and bolt that secure the gas lift to the top panel clevis. Lift the top panel and clevis off of the gas lift and set it aside on the bracket flanges.

7.Turn the gas lift counterclockwise until the lift comes free of the frame clevis nut at the bottom of the enclosure frame. Carefully draw the gas lift out through the top of the enclosure frame.

8.Insert the shaft end of the replacement gas lift through the hole in the lifting platform. Thread the shaft of the gas lift into the frame clevis nut and tighten it several turns.

CAUTION: Ensure that the top panel bracket does not contact the top flange. Marring of the soft surface of the flange may result.

9.Hold the top panel in position above the gas lift. Secure the gas lift to the top panel clevis with the nut and bolt that were removed in step 6.

10.Reconnect the interior AC power cables.

11.If necessary, release (extend) the top panel. Turn the enclosure frame upside-down and place it on the soft cloth surface.
