Hot Spring Locking Assembly for Up-Rite Cover Lifter. This is a safety part and we recommend replacing they grey plastic locking assembly if it is broken.
See figure 8.1 and 8.2 below. The Sure lock Sleeve (L) slides along the top of the Gas Spring (F) when it is in free-sliding position (Figure 8.1) When the cover is open in the vertical position, the Sure-Lock Sleeve will slide down the Gas Spring (F) and rest on the top of the Gas Spring Lock (I) in a locking position (Figure 8.2). The locking position of the Sure-Lock Sleeve (L) prevents the Gas Spring (F) from closing. To unlock, simply raise the Sure-Lock Sleeve (L) abode the Gas Spring Lock (I), and push the top of the Gas Spring Lock (I) forward while gently easing the cover down to the closed position.
