Cut-off Handling of Back Door Balancer (Damper)
Do not disassemble balancer because its cylinder is
filled with gas.
When discarding removed back door balancer (damp-
er), envelop it, as illustrated with a vinyl bag. Then, use
a 2 to 3 mm (0.08 – 0.12 in.) drill to make a hole, as
shown, from above through vinyl bag into balancer.
Handle balancer carefully. Do not scar or scratch ex-
posed surface of its piston rod, and never allow any
paint or oil to stick to its surface.
Do not turn piston rod with balancer fully extended.
