WARNING:
When handling front strut assembly (1) in which low-pressure gas and oil are sealed, make sure to observe the following precautions.
^
Do not disassemble the assembly.
^
Do not put the assembly into the fire.
^
Do not store the assembly where it gets hot.
^
Before disposing of the assembly, be sure to drill a hole (approximately 3 mm (0.1 in.) in diameter) (2) in it at location shown in figure
to let low-pressure gas and oil out. Be sure to wear eye shield since low-pressure gas discharged may be accompanied by drill swarf
although the gas is harmless.
^
Inspect strut for oil leakage, damage or deformation.
If defect is found, replace strut as an assembly unit, because it cannot be disassembled.
