REAR SHOCK ABSORBER DISPOSAL

* 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.
• Mark the drill center at the location 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.

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.
