Strength of decks and deck mountings is the responsibility of the boat builder or
installer of the seats. SHOCKWAVE assumes no liability for suspension modules
that are incorrectly installed.
Incorrectly installed suspension modules can cause serious injury or death and
can cause damage to the vessel and the seat.
Prior to use be sure to pressurize the shock absorber! Do not operate the seat
without sufficient pressure in the shock absorber or serious injury and damage
to the suspension module will result.
To achieve the best performance from the suspension module, the pressure of the shock absorber should be adjusted to attain
the proper sag setting. Sag is the amount the suspension compresses under the occupant’s weight. Sag should be set at 20% of
total shock travel as indicated via the red O-ring on the shock absorber.
Warranty is void on suspension modules where incorrect installation causes
damage to the module.
DANGER
DANGER
Do not sit on the seat with the SHOCKWAVE S6 Pump attached! Damage will
occur to the shock and pump. Note, the SHOCKWAVE S6 Pump is sold separately.
Do not exceed 150 PSI, the maximum shock absorber pressure.
Do not operate the S6 Module with shock pressure below 35 PSI.
SETTING UP THE SUSPENSION MODULE STEPS TO SET UP THE SUSPENSION MODULE
1 Install the pump and pressurize the shock absorber
to 35psi.
Then remove the pump.
2
Cycle the shock absorber by bouncing on the seat
5 times. This will equalize the positive and negative
air chambers.
3
Use the pump to pressurize the shock absorber to
match the occupant’s weight according to the table
below.
Then remove the pump.
4 Cycle the shock absorber by bouncing on the seat 5
times.
5 Push the red o-ring against the shock body.
6 Gently sit on the seat.
7 Gently get out of the seat.
8 The o-ring should be sitting about
3/4
” [19mm] down
from the dust seal. This is about the width of a finger.
9 If the sag value is not at the desired level, inflate or
deflate the shock absorber in 5 to 10 psi increments
and repeat steps 4-7 until the desired level is achieved.
10 Disconnect the shock pump and install the valve cap.
