end connected to the Ball Stud on the Upper
Mount – and its smaller diameter end con-
nected to the Ball Stud on the Lower Mount.
For proper orientation, see Figure 1.

Once  the  adjustment  is  finalized  (in  Steps
#13-15), the Cylinder is mounted by:

I. Snap the Ball Receptor on the small end of

the cylinder on the Ball Stud in the Lower
Mount, see figure 6.

II. The quick-release end of the Gas Cylinder

is cylindrical with a knurled surface and a
round notch. Follow steps II-a, II-b, & II-c
below to install this end of the gas cylin-
der.

a. Be  sure  the  round  notch  aligns  with

the Ball Recess inside the receptor. To
align  this  notch  with  the  ball  recess,
rotate the outer sleeve until the round
notch aligns with the receptor inside.

b. Firmly  grasp  the  knurled  surface  of

the outer sleeve and pull it toward the
opposite end of the cylinder. You will
see the ball receptor open up, as shown
in Figure 7.

c. Slip  the  open  receptor  over  the  ball

end of the Threaded Ball Stud on the
Upper  Mount  and  release  the  outer
sleeve on the Gas Cylinder

III. To remove this end of the Gas Cylinder,

reverse the order of steps “II-c” and “II-b”.

ADJUSTMENT

Since the Balls seldom align directly with the
Cylinder  receptors,  some  adjustment  will
normally  be  required  to  either  the  Upper
or Lower Lift Assist Assembly.

13. Before making any adjustments, be cer-

tain:

• The  Upper  Lift  Assist  Assembly  is

against the MARK’s Base Arm.

• The  Lower  Lift  Assist  Assembly  is

against the MARK’s Base Casting.

• All Assembly nuts are finger-tight.

When the Cylinder is properly installed and
the Upper and Lower Lift Assist. Assemblies
positioned correctly – the Cylinder receptors
should rotate freely and pop easily onto and
