Procédure
Place the head of the shock in a soft-jawed vice
(figure 1).
Lightly tighten the vice jaws to prevent damaging the
shock.
Note your shock pressure, taking into account the
loss of pressure when connecting your pump. Slowly
deflate the shock. The shock body will retract slightly.
Unscrew the air can (a) while keeping the body (b) in its
initial position (figure 2).
Remove the air can (figure 3)
Insert the O-ring(s) from the body side of the shock
(figure 4) and put them in position. Make sure that
the O-ring(s) do not block the hole in the shock.
Align the air can (a) sticker with the rebound knob.
Replace the air can by screwing back by hand until the
stickers align to ensure the proper torque (image 6). If
the stickers do not align when the air can is hand tight,
reinflate and equalize the shock air chambers (chapter
3.2) then finish tightening the air can.
Reinflate the shock.
Mount the shock on your bike.
Equalize the shock air chambers (chapter 3.2).
Before tightening the vice, make sure the jaws grip a
flat surface and are not touching the rebound knob.
WARNING
The shock body must not be unscrewed. The air can
is unscrewed by hand without additional tools.
