ACE Controls CB Series - Manual

1. This CB shock absorber contains pressurized gas to return the piston rod.
2. In order to ship by regular air freight and minimize freight costs, regulations
require the gas pressure to be reduced from 80 psi (5.5 bar) to 40 psi (3 bar).
3. On receiving this unit, it is recommended that the pressure be returned to
80 psi (5.5 bar) to generate the catalog ratings for the piston rod return force
and guarantee that the piston rod will fully extend.
4. Nitrogen is recommended for corrosion protection, air can be used but
could cause internal corrosion and will void the warranty.
