HANDLING THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER

WARNING

_ 

This rear shock absorber contains highly
compressed nitrogen gas. Before handling
the rear shock absorber, read and make
sure you understand the following informa-
tion. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for property damage or per-
sonal injury that may result from improper
handling of the rear shock absorber. 
• Do not tamper or attempt to open the rear

shock absorber. 

• Do not subject the rear shock absorber to

an open flame or any other source of high
heat. High heat can cause an explosion
due to excessive gas pressure. 

• Do not deform or damage the rear shock

absorber in any way. Rear shock
absorber damage will result in poor
damping performance. 

EAS00689

DISPOSING OF A REAR SHOCK 
ABSORBER AND GAS CYLINDER

Gas pressure must be released before dispos-
ing of a rear shock absorber and gas cylinder.
To release the gas pressure, drill a 2 ~ 3-mm
hole through the gas cylinder at a point 15 ~ 20
mm from its end as shown.

WARNING

_ 

Wear eye protection to prevent eye damage
from released gas or metal chips.
