CUIDADO: As bolsas de acessórios do tubo superior que são presas ao redor da espiga abaixo da mesa não são compatíveis com um amortecedor Future Shock, que está equipado em todos os modelos. O uso de uma cinta em torno da proteção do amortecedor Future Shock pode danificar a proteção (S209900002), o que prejudicará a impermeabilidade a àgua e detritos dos Future Shock.
