SPRING - GAS (Hyster HY1598397)

A worn gas spring can cause sudden hood or panel drop, creating a safety hazard during service. The Hyster catalog reference for this aftermarket replacement part is HY1598397. This retaining ring type component stores compressed gas to counterbalance weight and hold access panels open. Over time, seal failure leads to loss of gas pressure and inability to support the panel. A gas spring that no longer holds position forces the technician to prop the hood manually, increasing risk of pinch injuries. The item ships at approximately 0.718 pounds. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
