Installation Overview

1. Access the mechanism (hatch, hood or lid) and relieve any pre-load by positioning the lever at neutral.

2. Remove the old spring by carefully unwinding its legs from the mounting posts.

3. Position the new torsion spring with its coils aligned on the pivot shaft and legs on their respective mounts.

4. Wind the spring into place, ensuring correct leg orientation and tension.

5. Test the mechanism for smooth, consistent return and adjust preload if necessary.
