29OILShock Silicone Oil 350WFill until shock oilnearly overflowsGently move the piston up anddown to get rid of air bubblesPull down the piston1. Install the pivot ball into the composite pivot mount.2. Extend the shock rod so the piston is near the bottom of the shock body.3. Hold shock upright and slightly overfill the shock body with shock oil.4. Let the oil settle and allow air bubbles to rise to the top. Slowly move the piston up and downuntil no more air bubbles appear. Add shock oil as necessary.5. Pull the piston most of the way out of the shock body.6. Insert the top composite pivot mount in the alu collar. Ensure the notch in the collar fits overthe tab on the top pivot mount.7. Insert the rubber membrane in the alu collar. The membrane must be installed properly.8. Place the top assembly on the shock body, then thread it fully onto the shock body. Excess oilshould spill out.Shock bleeding:Check the shock for proper operation. The shock rod must move in and out freely with only“hydraulic” damping.The shock rod should not extend out by itself when pushed in and released. If this happens,extend the shock rod, loosen the top collar, and then slightly push the shock rod into the shockbody. Excess oil should escape out the top of the shock. Retighten the top collar and retest. Repeatbleeding as required.The shock rod should not be drawn into the shock body when pulled out and released. If thishappens, remove the top collar assembly (including bladder). Fill the shock body with more shockoil and reassemble. Retest. Repeat bleeding as required.Use for front and rear shocks4xSHOCK ABSORBERSUse little oil OILRear spring (long)Rear shock (long)Insert clips according to track conditionsFront spring (short)Front shock (short)Use tool for easy clip installation and removalFRONT SHOCKS (short)CUT AWAY VIEWCUT AWAY VIEWREAR SHOCKS (long)There is a small hole in therubber shock boot for airIMPORTANT!Both front shocks must be the same overall length.IMPORTANT!Both rear shocks must be the same overall length.
