ized nitrogen gas. For proper handling, read

erty damage or personal injury that may result
from improper handling.
•
Do not tamper with or attempt to open the

Do not subject the shock absorber to an
open flame or other high heat sources,
otherwise it may explode due to excessive

nism beyond the maximum or minimum set-
tings.
