9.2.3. Shock-absorber utilization

GENERAL INFORMATION

Prevention

Pressure of gas in the new gas-filled shock-absorber reaches the 25th bar therefore at utilization of the gas-filled shock-absorber be careful and use goggles.


To utilize the shock-absorber it is possible two methods: either having drilled an opening, or having cut the shock-absorber case.

Shock-absorber drilling

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Fix the shock-absorber in a vice a rod down.
2. A drill in diameter of 3 mm drill an opening And in the shock-absorber case.

Prevention

When drilling opening in the case of the gas-filled shock-absorber gas under pressure will come to light. At a gas make from the shock-absorber close an opening rags.


3. Continuing drilling, drill an internal pipe of the shock-absorber (about 25 mm).
4. Using a drill in diameter of 6 mm, drill the second opening In in the case and an internal pipe of the shock-absorber (see fig. above).
5. Establish under the shock-absorber the corresponding capacity and, moving a rod of the piston of the shock-absorber from an emphasis against the stop, squeeze out liquid from the shock-absorber.
6. After liquid plum from the shock-absorber it is possible to hand over the shock-absorber for processing.

Shock-absorber cutting

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Fix the shock-absorber in vertical situation in a vice.
2. Establish on the top part of the case of the shock-absorber труборез and cut the shock-absorber case. Thus the gas-filled shock-absorber will not leave gas.
3. Take a shock-absorber rod up, thus hold an internal pipe of the shock-absorber in the shock-absorber case.
4. Take a shock-absorber rod from an internal pipe.
5. Merge liquid from the shock-absorber in the corresponding capacity.
