Damper Disposal
The dampers contain nitrogen gas and oil under
pressure. The pressure must be relieved before
disposal to prevent explosion and possible injury
when scrapping.
Always wear eye protection to avoid getting metal
shavings in your eyes when the gas damper pressure
is relieved.
Place the damper on a level surface with its rod extend-
ed and drill a hole of 2.0—3.0 mm (0.08 — 0.12 in)
diameter in the body to release the gas.
