DISPOSAL
1. FULLY EXTEND SHOCK ABSORBER ROD
2. Normal Type:
DRILL HOLE TO REMOVE GAS FROM CYLINDER
Using a drill, make a hole in the cylinder, as shown in the illustra-
tion to discharge the gas inside.
CAUTION:
The discharged gas is harmless, but be careful of chips
which may fly out when drilling.
3. Auto Leveler Type:
DRILL HOLE TO REMOVE GAS FROM CYLINDER
Using a drill, make a hole on the shaded area of the cylinder,
as shown in the illustration to discharge the gas inside.
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the procedure in the order, the
high pressure chamber and the low pressure cham-
ber.
Wear protective goggles and cover the absorber with
a plastic bag or like when boring.
The discharged gas is harmless, but be careful of
chips which may fly out when drilling.
