SETTING SHOCK PRESSURE
10
6. Use the supplied SHOCKWAVE pump to add or bleed air from the system to ensure optimum positioning. Repeat
steps 4-5 until optimum ride height is achieved.
7. Exit the seat.
8. With the SHOCKWAVE pump connected to the air fill valve, record the pressure. This will be your optimum setup
pressure for your seat and weight class.
9. Remove the SHOCKWAVE pump from the air fill valve and reinstall the air fill cap. Failure to install the cap can lead
to a corroded air fill valve and air pressure leaks.
The FOX Float H20 shock absorber that SHOCKWAVE uses in your seat is custom built by FOX for SHOCKWAVE.
The infinitely adjustable Float H20 shock absorber provides reliability, versatility and adaptability. It features a
progressive rate air spring and is a velocity sensitive shock absorber. FOX uses a patented sealing system which is
very effective. The shock will hold pressure between settings and only needs to be topped up occasionally.
The seats do not require constant pressure adjustment. If the seat needs regular adjustments then there maybe a leaking
issue. To test for a leaking issue, first ensure the shock is filled to 150 PSI then use a soap solution and watch for bubbles.
Connections that leak need to be tightened or resealed using a sealer that is appropriate to seal air leaks such as Loctite
545. Flared fittings do not require any thread sealer they should be tightened snugly with a 9/16-inch wrench.
Most of the leaks are caused by air fill valves that have become corroded. Use a 7/16” wrench to replace the air fill valve
with a new one, which is available directly from SHOCKWAVE.
DANGER
Do not operate the seat with the arrow below the green zone when the seat is occupied.
