1. Match the short, front Shock Bodies (84) to the short front
Shafts (79), and the long, rear Shock Bodies (85) to the long rear
Shafts (83).
q
2. Fill the front Shock Body (84) with 30wt. Shock Fluid (189) up
to the bottom of the threads inside the Shock Body.
q
3. Insert the front Shaft assembly with the Cartridge against the
Shock Piston. Slowly tighten the Cartridge about two full turns only.
With the Cartridge still slightly loose, slowly push the Shock Shaft
assembly into the Shock Body. This will bleed the excess fluid out of
the Shock. Once the Shaft assembly is all the way down, tighten the
Shock Cartridge the rest of the way. Repeat this for the remaining
front Shock assembly and the two rear Shock assemblies.
Be sure to keep the front and rear Shock assemblies separated
until they are assembled to the Chassis.
q
4. Now, with the Shaft assembly still all the way in, secure the
Cartridge by tightening with pliers, or preferrably a 7/16" wrench,
approximately 1/8 of a turn. There should be no air in the Shocks as
you move the Shaft (79) in and out. If there is, you need to add more
Fluid. If the shock does not compress all the way, the Shock has too
much Fluid and requires further bleeding. Repeat Steps 2-4 for the
remaining Shock assemblies.
If leaking persists around the outside, tighten the Cartridge.
q
1. Snap a Shock Spring Cup (3) onto each of the four Shock
Shafts (79, 83), small end down, and push it down over the Shock End
(2) until it stops.
q
2. Slide a 2" Green Spring (121) down over each of the two front
Shock assemblies so that it rests against the Spring Cup.
q
3. Slide a 2.5" Pink Spring (122) down over each of the two rear
Shock assemblies so that it rests against the Spring Cup.
q
4. Insert a 1/2 x 1/16" O-ring (45) into the O-ring groove on the
inside of the four Aluminum Shock Nuts (1).
q
5. Thread an Aluminum Shock Nut about 1/4" onto each Shock
Body with the small end down.
Some Shock Nuts may come from the factory with the O-ring
pre-installed.
