Caution: Gas charged shock absorbers contain high pressure gas. Do not remove the snap ring from inside the top of the tube. If the snap
ring is removed, the contents of the shock absorber will come out with extreme force which may result in personal injury.
Caution: To prevent personal injury, wear safety glasses when center punching and drilling the shock absorber. Use care not to puncture
the shock absorber tube with the centerpunch.
