Damper Disposal

WARNING The dampers contain nitrogen gas and oil under pressure.
The pressure must be relieved before disposal to prevent explosion and possible injury when scrapping.

Place the damper on a level surface with its rod extended and drill a hole of 2-3 mm (0.078-0.118 in) diameter in the body to release the gas.

WARNING Always wear eye protection to avoid getting metal shavings in your eyes when the gas damper pressure is relieved.
