G Do not tamper with or attempt to open the cylinder assemblies. G Do not subject the shock absorbers to an open flame or other high heat source. This may cause the unit to explode due to excessive gas pressure. G Do not deform or damage the cylinders in any way. Cylinder damage will result in poor damping performance.
