CAUTION: Incorrect handling of gas-filled shock absorbers 
  • Gas-filled shock absorbers can burst 
  • Risk of eye injuries 
  • Risk of bruising 

    → Gas-filled shock absorbers must be in idle state before removal.

    → Open the lid.

    → Secure the lid to prevent it from closing accidentally following removal of the gas-filled shock absorbers.

    → Do not use force to open the gas-filled shock absorbers because of their high internal pressure.

The help of another person is required.

  1. A second person must hold the front lid to prevent it from falling down.
