Operation
Bump Shock Adjustments
Never attempt to adjust the Bump Shock Assembly (A)
while under tension and always apply spray lubricant to
threads before adjusting for ease of operation.
Bump Shock Pressure
The Bump Shock Assembly (A) is pre-charged with the
proper amount of Nitrogen gas to suit most applications.
Therefore it should not be necessary to adjust bump shock
pressure prior to installation.
The Nitrogen charge is factory preset at 150 psi. For ap-
plications that require a higher or lower compression rate,
the gas pressure can be manually adjusted to a minimum
of 100 psi and a maximum of 200 psi.
To adjust pressure, the Bump Shock Assembly (A) must be
removed from the vehicle. Nitrogen pressure is adjusted
through the Schrader valve on top of the bump shock.
Care should be taken when discharging the bump shock to
ensure that no oil is lost. Most shops that service off-road
racing or motorcycle shock absorbers can adjust bump
shock pressure.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning with pressurized water is recommended
to maximize ease of operation and reliability.
In addition, the 3/8” drainage holes that you drilled imme-
diately above the Jounce Adapters (C) must be checked
periodically for blockages. If necessary, clear debris from
the holes to ensure any moisture trapped inside spring
retainer is able to self-evacuate.
