6.1  Personal protection 

 
 
 

6.2  How to remove protection material 

 

Before unpacking the cylinder check the warning labels that are 
attached to the cylinder and read the instruction that are written on 
the labels. 

Before and during unpacking the cylinder check if there are any 
damaged parts of the cylinder occurred during transportation. 

 

First  remove  all  package  material,  like  plastic  stretch  seals  and  Denso

®

  tape, 

before installing the cylinder. Some of the common used package materials for 
cylinders are described in the following lines: 
In  case  a  bracket  is  used,  to  prevent  the  piston  rod  from  extending  during 
transportation,  this  must  be  removed  carefully.  When  removing  the  bracket 
nobody may be standing in front of the piston rod, because the piston rod could 
extend.  When  the  cylinder  needs  to  be  mounted  upside-down  with  the  piston 
rod directing  downwards, then the bracket that  holds the piston rod in position 
must remain in  place, until the cylinder is mounted. Be aware,  when removing 
the  bracket  that  holds  the  piston  rod  in  position  the  piston  rod  could  extend 
because of its own weight. For double acting cylinders, extending of the piston 
rod can be prevented by building up pressure on piston rod side.   

6.3  Step by step installation guide 

1. 

Cylinders can be filled with nitrogen or partly filled with oil and VSI dope.    

Be careful, there can be some over pressure in the 
cylinder. Release pressure first and do not breath the 
escaping gas.  

2. 

Make  sure  all  parts  are  cleaned  and  free  of  dust  or  any  other 
threatening  materials  or  media  (such  as  water).  Also  clean  the  blank 
parts that are greased or equipped with preservation oil. The hoses and 
hydraulic  pipes  should  be  flushed  (oil  cleanliness  according  chapter 
8.3),  before  connecting  these  hoses  or  pipes  to  the  cylinder.  Ensure 
every hose, pipe and/or valve is connected.  

3. 

Cylinders which go “over-centre”, when they extend, should first be filled 
with oil and air-released, as per chapter 6.5. 

4. 

Before  mounting  the  cylinder  make  sure  all  the  bearings  and  pins  are 
greased. 

5. 

Read chapter 4 ‘Lifting instructions’ first before lifting the cylinder.  

6. 

Ensure  the  centreline  of  the  cylinder  is  in  line  with  the  load.  The  load 
must  be  a  100%  axial  load  on  the  cylinder.  Side  loads  or  radial  loads 
can  be  disastrous  for  cylinders,  unless  the  cylinders  are  designed  to
