FAQ 

Q1: Can this support strut fit ZL50GN loader directly?
A1: Part No.252100434 is specially for ZL50G and ZL50GL. ZL50GN has different hood structure and hinge points. Direct interchange is not recommended. Verify old part number before ordering.

Q2: Can a slightly bent strut keep working?
A2: Bending reduces supporting strength and causes unstable load, which brings serious safety risk of sudden hood fall. Replacement is strongly recommended.

Q3: Are pins and circlips included in the package?
A3: Standard package only contains the strut. Pins, gaskets and circlips are optional parts. You may order fasteners separately.

Q4: How to handle paint peeling and rust on the strut?
A4: Polish light rust and re-spray primer and engineering yellow topcoat. Replace at once if the tube is thinned by rust or lugs crack.

Q5: What should be noted during installation?
A5: Align the hinge lugs on hood and frame, install pins properly and lock with circlips. Test hood opening and closing to confirm stable support without loosening or slipping.
