adjustments to the tilt and recline with a minimum amount of effort. The gas cylinders contain
pressurized Nitrogen gas, it is not flammable nor is it toxic. The cylinders provide 800 Newtons
(180 lbs) of force. In other words, the cylinders provide assistance and reduce the amount of
weight the care giver has to lift.
