STEP #1

STEP #2

TIP: To press clip in easiest, compress the
clip so the diameter is a little smaller.Insert
open end of clip first, working counter-
clockwise to the bent end as shown.

- Snap Pivot Ball into the 5228 Ball End. Thread the
Ball End onto the Med Shock until the Ball End is
flush with the end of threads on the shaft. Do the
same with the 5235 Ball Cup to the Short Shock.

- Press the 1437 Firm Bladder (BLACK) into the
Threaded Shock Cap so the dome of the
bladder points away from the Eyelet Cap.

- Thread 1433 Spring Collar onto the
Shock Body.

-NOTE: See shock filling tips for more
instructions.

SHOCK FILLING INSTRUCTIONS:

2) Slowly move the
shaft up and down
several times to allow
air bubbles to escape
to the top.

1) Holding the
shock upright,
fill with oil until
the top of the
body.

3) Refill with
oil to the top
of the shock
body.

5) Move the shock shaft in and out a
few times and then push it all the way
in. It should be easy to push the shaft
in until the eyelet hits the body.

4) Thread the Eyelet Cap
assembly onto the Shock
Body until it is hand
tight. Oil should seep
out of the bleed hole
in the Threaded Cap.

6) Then the shaft
should push itself
out to its full length
slowly.

7) If the shock does not push
out this far there is not enough
oil in it. Add just a little oil and
try steps 5-6 again.

8) If the shockrebounds too fast , or you cannot
push the shaft in until the eyelet hits the body, there
is too much oil. Loosen the cap about 2 full turns
and pump out a small amount of oil by pushing the
shaft in. Retighten the cap and try steps 5-6 again.
