8. HANDLING OF SHOCK ABSORBER
(a) Do not disassemble the shock absorber because the
cylinder is filled with gas.
(b) lf you replace a shock absorber, drill a 2.0 - 3.0 mm
(0.079 - 0.118 in.) hole in the bottom of the rep-
laced shock absorber's cylinder to completely release
the high pressure gas. ffhe gas is colorless, odorless
and not poisonous. However, when drilling, chips
may fly out so work carefully.)
(c) Handle the shock absorber carefully. Never score or
scratch the exposed part of the piston rod, and never
allow paint or oil to get on it.
