SHOCK ABSORBER DISPOSAL PROCEDURE
REAR WHEEL / SUSPENSION
Center punch the shock absorber to mark the drilling
point .
Wrap the shock absorber inside a plastic bag .
Support the shock absorber in a vise as shown
.
Through the open end of the bag , insert
a drill motor
with a sharp 2

in ) drill bit
.
NOTICE
• Do
not use a dull drill bit which could cause a build
¬
up of excessive heat and pressure inside the
damper
,
leading to an explosion and
severe injury .
The shock absorber contains nitrogen gas and oil
under high pressure . Do not drill any further down
the damper case than the measurement given
above
,
or you may drill into the oil chamber
.
Then
high pressure oil may cause serious injury
.
•
Always
wear
eye protection to avoid getting metal
shavings in your eyes when the gas pressure is
released . The plastic bag is only intended to shield you from the escaping gas
.
Hold
the bag around the drill motor and briefly run the drill motor inside the bag ; this
will inflate the bag with air
from the motor
and help keep the bag from getting caught in the bit when you start
.
