range of the shock absorber, not to exceed 75 F (24 C)
ambient at full energy capacity. To allow maximum heat
dissipation, do not paint the shock absorber.
Applications using two or more adjustable shock absorbers
should have the load balanced equally between them.
Note: Self-contained models MC, MCN, MA, MAN, ML and
MLN are pre-filled with ATF and are ready for use after proper
installation.
STANDARD MOUNTING INSTALLATION (Figures 1, 1A)
Fully screw the shock absorber into the threaded mounting
hole. Tighten the lock nut. Refer to the Torque Specifications
chart, Figure 8, for proper lock nut installation.
For adjustable models, orient the adjustment graduations
to the desired position by unscrewing the shock absorber no
more than a 3/4 turn and then tightening the lock nut.
CAUTION: Insufficient tightening of the lock nut may
result in the shock absorber working loose due to
structural vibration.
FLANGE MOUNTING INSTALLATION (Figures 2, 2A)
Bolt the flange to the mounting structure. Assure that the
bolts are securely tightened. Thread shock absorber into
flange.
For rear flange mounting (Figure 2), install lock nut securely
against flange. For front flange mounting (Figure 2A), install
lock nut securely against mounting structure.
Refer to Torque Specifications chart, Figure 8, for proper
lock nut installation.
Maximum efficiency of operation can be obtained by
carefully following these instructions:
