– 20 – – 21 –
■
Take care in handling the gas damper
• Never dismantle it.
• Do not throw it into a fire.
• Do not damage the rod.
• Do not bend the tube or rod, or use it as a handle.
• When disposing of it, be sure to fix the gas damper, and drill a hole around 2 to 3 mm in
diameter, about 20 to 30 mm from the edge on the tube bracket side. Dispose of it after
releasing the gas pressure. When doing this, be sure to wear protective goggles because
of the danger of oil inside or swarfs getting sprayed everywhere by the compressed gas
inside.
■
Exercise extreme care when replacing and repairing tires (Tire installed)
• Disassembly, repair and reassembly of tires require
special facility and knowledge. Have them repaired at
work shop specialized in handling tires.
• An improperly fitted tire can separate from the rim when
inflating.
• When dismounting a tire, chock other tires for safety.
• When welding job is carried out near the tires, use
extreme care, as this can cause an explosion of the
tires.
WARNING: Negligence of these instructions can lead to accidents.
