DisposalINFOID:0000000006225645
WITHOUT HBMC
1. Set shock absorber horizontally with the piston rod fully extended.
2. Drill 2 – 3 mm (0.08 – 0.12 in) hole at the position ( ) from top
as shown in the figure to release gas gradually.
CAUTION:
 Wear eye protection (safety glasses).
 Wear gloves.
 Be careful with metal chips or oil blown out by the com-
pressed gas.
NOTE:
 Drill vertically in this direction ( ).
 Directly to the outer tube avoiding brackets.
 The gas is clear, colorless, odorless, and harmless.
3. Position the drilled hole downward and drain oil by moving the piston rod several times. CAUTION:
Dispose of drained oil according to the law and local regulations.
WITH HBMC
NOTE:
Releasing gas is not required.A : 20 – 30 mm (0.79 – 1.18 in)
