Hydraulic Unit Disposal

HYDRAULIC UNIT DISPOSAL

CAUTION
^ The hydraulic unit has its accumulator filled with a high-pressure gas. Never attempt to disassemble without breathing.
^ Never throw the accumulator into a fire. Also, never attempt to cut or weld it.
^ Do not drop or shock to the accumulator.
^ When drilling a hole in the accumulator, be sure to wear safety goggles since drill chips may blow out together with the gas.






When discarding the hydraulic unit, make a hole on the accumulator as shown in the figure to release the gas, and then discard.
