Shock Absorber Disposal

WARNING: Wear goggles when drilling to protect your eyes from flying metal debris.

The gas must be discharged from the shock absorber before discarding it. Place the shock absorber horizontally with its piston rod extended. Then drill a hole of approximately 3 mm (0.1 inch) in diameter at the location shown in the illustration and discharge the gas.
