WARNING
!
Handling of Rear End Door Balancer
(Damper)
• Handle balancer carefully. Do not scar or
scratch exposed 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.
• Do not disassemble balancer (1) because
its cylinder is filled with gas.
Discarding of Rear End Door Balancer
(Damper)
• The gas itself in balancer is harmless but it
may issue out of the hole together with
chips generated by the drill (2). Therefore,
be sure to wear goggle when drilling.
• Using a 2 to 3 mm (0.08 to 0.12 in.) drill (2),
make a hole to remove gas inside as
shown before discarding.
