Installing your shock
Warning!
⚠
Rear shock setup and configuration varies greatly
between different bicycle manufacturers. Be sure to
mount the shock according to instructions in the owner´s
manual for your bicycle. We advise you to have your
Öhlins shocks installed by an authorized service center.
Improperly installed shocks can fail, causing the rider to
lose control, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Install the shock on to your frame using
the appropriate hardware. Release the air
pressure slowly by using the shock pump.
Carefully compress the suspension through its
entire travel and make sure that the shock has
clearance against the frame at any point. Set
sag according to page 4.
Before you ride
Clean the outside of your shock with mild
soap and water and wipe dry with a soft
rag. Do not use any solvents or de-greasers
as these products can damage the shock’s
exteriorfinish.
Do not use a high pressure washer or spray
water directly on the seal/shock body junction.
Inspect the exterior of your shock. The shock
should not be used if any of the exterior parts
appear to be damaged.
Contact your local Öhlins dealer for further
inspection or repair.

Install the remote connection wire with no
slack in the system. Use a 2 mm hex torque
wrench to tighten the set screw to 0.4 Nm.

Use a 5 mm hex key to adjust the pre tension
on the wire. Adjust until placing the remote
lever in lock out mode results in a stiff feeling
in the shock while trying to compress it.
