2.1.3.1.8. Check of the shock-absorber

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Check the shock-absorber for any signs of liquid leaks. If leak is found, therefore, the shock-absorber is damaged and demands replacement.

Prevention

Shock-absorbers need to be changed in pairs on one axis.

2. Efficiency of the shock-absorber is also checked by pressing a corner of a body and a sharp otpuskaniye. The body has to come back to a starting position after its otpuskaniye. If the body rises above a starting position and continues to be shaken, then, possibly the shock-absorber located from this party failed and is subject to replacement. Also check fastenings of the shock-absorber that there was no wear.
