WARNING
These shock absorber assemblies contain
highly pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and
understand the following information be-
fore handling the shock absorber assem-
blies.●
Do not tamper with or attempt to open
the cylinder assemblies.
●
Do not subject the shock absorber as-
semblies to an open flame or other
high heat source. This may cause the
unit to explode due to excessive gas
pressure.
●
Do not deform or damage the cylin-
ders in any way. Cylinder damage will
result in poor damping performance.

4. Once the majority of the dirt has beenhosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy for
hard-to-get-at places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent
cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the covers pliable and

Avoid combination cleaner-waxes. Many
contain abrasives which may scratch the
paint or protective finish. When finished,
start the engine and let it idle for several
minutes.
