1)
The safety features mentioned here have been implemented – with few exceptions – on all FIBRO gas springs.
Please refer to the relevant data sheets to check the current safety equipment which is provided with the gas spring you are interested in,
or contact FIBRO GmbH directly for more information.
After a protection function is triggered, the spring cannot be repaired and can no longer be used. It must be replaced completely.
