4.
Install the hose connector of the shock
absorber pump onto the air valve of the
shock absorber and tighten it approxi-
mately six turns until the pressure regis-
ters on the pump gauge. NOTICE: Do
not overtighten the connector onto
the air valve as this will damage the
connector seal.

TIP
If the shock absorber has no air pressure, the
gauge reading will be zero.
5.
To increase the air pressure, operate the
pump a few times. The pressure should
increase slowly. If the pressure increases

rapidly, check to make sure that the
pump is properly connected and tight-
ened onto the air valve. To decrease the
air pressure, push the black bleed valve
button. NOTICE: Do not exceed 1034
kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi).

Air pressure range:
345 kPa (3.4 kgf/cm², 50 psi) to 1034
kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi)
Recommended air pressure:
621 kPa (6.2 kgf/cm², 90 psi)
TIP
To allow pressure to escape from the pump
and the shock absorber, push the button half-
way down and hold it. To allow only a small
amount of pressure to escape, push the but-
ton all the way down and quickly release it.
