REAR SHOCK ABSORBER DISPOSAL

id021400801500

Warning

• Whenever drilling into a rear shock absorber, wear protective eye wear. The gas in the rear shock absorber is pressurized, and could spray metal chips into the eyes and face when drilling.

1. Clamp a rear shock absorber on a flat surface or with the piston pointing downwards.

2. Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.11 in} hole at point A from the bottom of the tube, so the gas can escape.

Point A: 40—50 mm {1.6—1.8 in}

3. Turn the hole downwards.

4. The oil can be collected by moving the piston rod several times up and down and cutting off the end of the tube with a hack-saw.

5. Dispose of waste oil according to the waste disposal law.
