Elka Suspension MOUNTAIN BIKE SERIES - Manual (Page 12)

A well-maintained shock absorber will last longer and perform better. For cleaning, use
a gentle detergent and pay particular attention to areas where debris can become
lodged. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products.
Elka Suspension recommends sending your shock absorber exclusively to an Authorized
Elka Suspension Service Center for all your maintenance, repairs or oil changes
requirements. Servicing done by any other unauthorized service center will automatically
void your warranty.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
1. Clean the threads under the preload ring using a soft brush.
2. Clean around the rebound adjustment knob so that no foreign particles damage
the adjustment mechanism.
3. Clean around the compression adjustment knobs delicately, be careful not to force
water within the mechanism.
4. Use compressed air to clean beneath the bottom out bumper.
