The shock absorber is an important part of your mountain bike, and this owner's manual
explains how to install and use it properly. If you are uncomfortable installing your shock
absorber or are unsure of the method, have a qualified mechanic install it for you.
Improperly installed shocks might cause serious harm to you and may severely damage
your mountain bike. Never take any chances with your safety.
Before installing and using your new shock absorber, carefully read this owner's manual
to learn the correct installation and adjustment procedures and avoid the consequences
of an incorrect installation or improper adjustment.
Riding a mountain bike can be dangerous. Always wear appropriate protective
equipment and follow your region’s safety regulations.
