STEERING DAMPER
MAINTENANCE
1. Keep the steering damper
shaft 1 clean at all times.
2. Wipe off any oil residue with a
cloth.
NOTE:
• Do not confuse the grease-like
residue
damper's shaft with an oil leak.
Collection of this residue is
normal and is from oil seal
lubricant used in the damper.
• You may also notice a sound
as the damper shaft is stroked
in and out. This "escaping air"
type sound is normal and is
made as the internal valving
damps the shaft movement.
