IMPORTANT!
READ BEFORE RAISING FRONT GLASS :
The top cylinders, which allow the raising and lowering
of the glass, have been carefully tested for proper ten-
sion. However, during shipment, the clamshell screws
can work themselves out and/or the lubricant inside may
have settled. This settling may cause excessive or uneven
tension on the glass - to the point of breakage.
Before Rasing the Glass retighten all
screws along clamshell!
After installing new cylinders, it is advisable to perform
these three easy steps before completely raising the front
glass.
1. Slowly raise and lower each glass section 6 times, to
a height of 6".
2. Increase the height to 12", and raise and lower the
glass 6 more times.
3. Finally, raise the glass to it's full extension. This
should release any settled lubricant in the cylinders,
and prevent any stress on the front glass. (1)(3)
