A
WARNING
I
*
Use only nitrogen
to
pressurize the shock absorber.
The use of an unstable
gas
can cause a fire or
explo¬
sion resulting in serious injury.
• The shock
absorber contains nitrogen under
high
pressure. Allowing
fire or heat near the shock ab¬
sorber could lead
to
an
explosion that could result
in
serious
injury.
• Failure
to
release the pressure
from a
shock absorber
before
disposing of it
may
lead
to
a possible explo¬
sion and serious
injury if
it is heated
or pierced.
AWARNING
*
Avoid spilling engine coolant on the exhaust
system
or engine
parts
They may
be hot
enough to cause
the coolant
to
ignite and burn without a visible
flame.
• Coolant
(ethylene glycol)
can cause
some
skin irrita¬
tion and is poisonous
if
swallowed. KEEP
OUT OF
REACH
OF CHILDREN.
•
Do
not
remove the
radiator
cap
when the

fan,
as it starts automatically.
(
To
prevent
the possibility of an explosion, release the ni¬
trogen
by pressing
the valve core. Then

the valve
stem
from
the shock
absorber reservoir. Dispose of the oil
in
a manner acceptable
to
the Environmental Protection
Agency

fresh
water
before obtaining
medical attention. Because of these dan¬
gers,
always Store coolant in
a safe place,
away
from
the
reach
of children.
Before
disposal of
the shock absorber, release the nitrogen
by pressing
the valve core. Then
remove
the valve
stem
from the
shock
absorber.
