Disposal of Gas Springs / Hydraulic Units
16.4 Disposal of Gas Springs / Hydraulic Units
Any gas springs and hydraulic units available are primarily constructed from metal and plastic and
can be recycled.
Before disposing of these according to the manufacturer's instructions, it is im-
portant to drain off the oil and dispose of it properly.
Please note in this connection:
The release mechanism must not be activated if gas springs are removed. These devices are
under pressure.
Careless release could cause injury!
Gas springs must first be depressurised according to the manufacturer’s instructions before dis-
posal. This information can be obtained upon request from the gas spring manufacturer (see type
plate).
In other countries outside Germany or the EU, the relevant national regulations must be complied
with.
