2, Push on the damper as shown.
3. Check for smooth operation through a full stroke,
both compression and extension.
NOTE: The damper should move smoothly. lf it
does not (no compression or no extension), the gas
is leaking, and the damper should be replaced.
Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises or binding dur-
