REAR SHOCK ABSORBER DISPOSAL
GAS PRESSURE RELEASE
The rear cushion damper unit contains high-pressure nitrogen
gas. Make sure to observe the following precautions.
Mark the drill center at the location A using a center punch.
Wrap the rear cushion unit with a vinyl bag and fix it on a vise as
shown.
Drill a 2 – 3 mm (0.08 – 0.12 in) hole at the marked drill center
using a drilling machine and let out gas while taking care not to
get the vinyl bag entangled with the drill bit.
* The rear shock absorber unit contains high-pressure
nitrogen gas.
* Mishandling can cause explosion.
* Keep away from fire and heat. High gas pressure
caused by heat can cause an explosion.
* Release gas pressure before disposing.
* Never apply heat or disassemble the damper unit
since it can explode or oil can splash hazardously.
* When discarding the rear cushion unit, be sure to
release gas pressure from the unit following the pro-
cedures below.
* Be sure to wear protective glasses since drilling
chips and oil may fly off with blowing gas when the
drill bit has penetrated through the body.
* Make sure to drill at the specified position. Other-
wise, pressurized oil may spout out forcefully.
