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.
CAUTION:
ECS00720
Do not overtighten the connector onto the
air valve as this will damage the connector
seal.
NOTE:
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.
NOTE:
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.
6. Remove the hose connector from the air
valve.
NOTE:
When removing the connector, the sound of
air escaping may be heard, but this is from the
pump hose, not the shock absorber.
