SHOCK ABSORBER DISPOSAL
PROCEDURE
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 – 3 mm (5/64 – 1/8 in) drill bit.
• 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.
