CHASFRONT FORK
EC556000
HANDLING NOTE
NOTE:
The front fork requires careful attention. So it is
recommended that the front fork be main-
tained at the dealers.
CAUTION:
To prevent an accidental explosion of air,
the following instructions should be
observed:
The front fork with a built-in piston rod
has a very sophisticated internal con-
struction and is particularly sensitive to
foreign material.
Use enough care not to allow any foreign
material to come in when the oil is
replaced or when the front fork is disas-
sembled and reassembled.
Before removing the cap bolts or front
forks, be sure to extract the air from the
air chamber completely.

che avant à tige de piston incorpo-
rée est très sophistiquée et est
particulièrement sensible aux subs-
tances étrangères.
Faire suffisamment attention à ne
pas laisser pénétrer de substances
étrangères lorsque l’huile est rem-
placée ou lorsque la fourche avant
est démontée ou remontée.
Avant de dévisser les bouchons de
