STEP 1
1. BEGIN THE SHOCK ASSEMBLY BY FIRST TRIMMING EACH PART OFF THE SHOCK PARTS TREE.
CAREFULLY TRIM EACH PART FROM THE PARTS TREE SO NO PART OF THE TWO MOLDING
RUNNERS REMAIN. IT IS SAFER TO REMOVE A TINY AMOUNT OF THE PART THAN TO RISK THE
CHANCE OF A BURR REMAINING. SHORT BLADE SCISSORS OR A HOBBY KNIFE WILL WORK FINE.
RUN YOUR FINGER OVER THE EDGES TO FEEL FOR BURRS YOU CANNOT SEE. REMOVE THE ONES
YOU FIND. BURRS CAN KEEP THE PARTS FROM SNAPPING IN CORRECTLY, AND CAN CAUSE
THE SHOCK TO LEAK OR THE SHAFT TO JAM.
2. LOAD THE SHOCK TOOL WITH THE PARTS JUST TRIMMED OFF THE SHOCK PARTS TREE.
LOAD THE SHOCK TOOL IN THIS ORDER:
A. SHOCK SNAP RETAINER
B. SMALL SHOCK SPACER .030"
C. SHOCK O-RING
D. LARGE SHOCK SPACER
E. SHOCK O-RING
F. SMALL SHOCK SPACER .030"
(USE REFERENCE ILLUSTRATION FIGURE A BELOW.)
3. ADD 3-4 DROPS OF THE INCLUDED SHOCK OIL TO THE SHOCK SEAL PARTS WHILE IT IS ON THE
SHOCK TOOL.
4. INSERT THE TOOL TIP INTO THE SHOCK BODY ALL THE WAY. PUSH EASILY UNTIL THE PARTS
SNAP INTO PLACE.
5. CHECK THE TOOL HEIGHT IN FIGURE B AND COMPARE IT TO YOUR ASSEMBLY. IF YOUR SHOCKS
DO NOT SNAP TOGETHER EASILY, CHECK THE PARTS FOR BURRS AGAIN.
6. ADD 1-2 DROPS OF OIL TO THE THREADS ON THE TOP OF THE SHOCK BODY. SLIDE ON THE
SHOCK BODY O-RING. (USE THE BLACK O-RINGS INCLUDED WITH ALL I NNER SHOCK PARTS)
7. INS ERT THE SHOCK COLLAR O-RING INTO THE THREADED SHOCK COLLAR. THREAD ON THE SHOCK COLLAR
ALL THE WAY UP THE SHOCK BODY. (USE THE BLACK O-RINGS PACKAGED WITH THE SHOCK COLLARS.)
8. COMPARE YOUR ASSEMBLY TO FIGURE C.
