1. Match the short Front Shock Bodies (157) with the short Front
Shock Shaft (156) assemblies, and the Rear Shock Bodies (Long)
(114) with the "Long" Rear Shock Shaft (108) assemblies. Fill a short
Front Shock Body with 30wt. Pure Silicone Shock Oil (115) up to the
bottom of the threads inside the Shock Body.
Be sure to keep the Front and Rear shock assemblies sepa-
rated until they are assembled to the Chassis.
q
2. Insert the Front Shaft assembly with the Cartridge against the
Shock Piston (113). Slowly tighten the Cartridge about two full turns
only. With the Cartridge still slightly loose, slowly push the Shock
Shaft assembly into the Shock Body. This will bleed the excess Shock
Fluid out of the Shock. Once the Shaft assembly is all the way down,
tighten the Shock Cartridge the rest of the way.
q
3. Now, with the Shaft assembly still all the way in, secure the
cartridge by tightening with pliers or a 7/16" wrench approximately
1/8 of a turn. There should be no air in the Shock as you move the
Shaft in and out. If there is, you need more Fluid. If the Shock does
not compress all the way, the shock has too much Fluid.
q
4. Repeat this for the remaining Front Shock assembly and the
two Rear Shock assemblies.
If leaking persists around the outside, tighten the Cartridge.
q
1. Snap a Shock Spring Cup (119) onto each of the Front and Rear
Shock Shafts and push down onto the Shock End (109) until it stops.
q
2. Slide a 1" purple spring (117) down over each of the two "Short"
Front Shock assemblies so that it rests against the Shock Cup.
q
3. Slide a 1" silver spring (116) down over each of the two "Long"
Rear Shock assemblies so that it rests against the Shock Spring Cup.
q
4. Place a Spring Retainer Nut (118) over the top of each Shock
Body (114), (157) with the ridge facing the Spring. Thread the Nut
onto the Shock Body and adjust for proper Spring Pre-load.
Final ride height adjustments will be made in the "Final Check-
list" portion of this manual.
