REAR SHOCK ABSORBER
HANDLING NOTE
• Support the machine securely so there is
no danger of it falling over.
• This rear shock absorber is provided with
a separate type tank filled with high-pres-
sure nitrogen gas. To prevent the danger
of explosion, read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling the
shock absorber. The manufacturer can not
be held responsible for property damage
or personal injury that may result from im-
proper handling.
• Never tamper or attempt to disassemble
the cylinder or the tank.
• Never throw the rear shock absorber into
an open flame or other high heat. The
rear shock absorber may explode as a re-
sult of nitrogen gas expansion and/ or
damage to the hose.
• Be careful not to damage any part of the
gas tank. A damaged gas tank will impair
the damping performance or cause a
malfunction.
• Take care not to scratch the contact sur-
face of the piston rod with the cylinder;
or oil could leak out.
• Never attempt to remove the plug at the
bottom of the nitrogen gas tank. It is very
dangerous to remove the plug.
• When scrapping the rear shock absorb-
er, follow the instructions on disposal.
