Installed struts upside down?

Rod up for soft close gas hinges, but rod down for lift support gas struts😊

I have read that you should install the shock with the gas cylinder in the elevated position as well to both keep debris from collecting by the seal and to keep the lubricant down near the seal.

Thanks for the demo. You're right the instructions is garbage. Who mixes metrics with SAE in their measurements? Also, the drawing on the left is crap..the artist has no idea of what perspective is. I went and bought this igloo latch on Amazon, thinking that it would spring open like the trunk of my car..I was wrong.
