The shock absorber is pressurized with gas. Do
not disassemble unless fluid is leaking from
shock absorber.
CAUTION
NOTE:
A pressurized shock absorber makes tilting of
the engine easier than a non-pressurized shock
absorber.
If the shock absorber leaks fluid it can be rebuilt by
installing “Shock Absorber Repair Kit” (P/N
41760A2), however, the shock absorber will no
longer be pressurized and the force needed to tilt the
engine will be increased to that of a non-pressurized
shock absorber. Instructions are supplied with kit.
If the shock absorber leaks fluid and a pressurized
shock absorber is desired, replace shock absorber as
an assembly.
