Milnor MWF27J8 Mantenimiento página 39

Examine the shock absorbers at the intervals given in the maintenance summary. It is necessary
to replace a shock absorber if you see oil come out from the mechanism (see the figure that
follows). This shows that seals are worn. It is also necessary to replace the shock absorber if the
rubber in a connector is very worn or missing.
Bad shock absorbers will let the shell move too much when the machine operates. If severe
movement occurs and you are not sure of the cause, you can do a test of the shock absorbers as
follows:
1. Remove the shock absorber from the machine.
2. With your body weight, compress the length of the shock absorber against a hard surface. A
serviceable shock absorber compress slowly. It will also expand slowly to its initial length
when you release it. If it compresses or expands quickly, the shock absorber is bad.

1. If cracks occur in the rubber spring, it is necessary to replace this component. Speak to your
dealer or Milnor. This is not routine maintenance.
