Control functions 4. Install the hose connector of the shock absorber pump onto the air valve of the shock absorber and tighten it approximately six turns until the pressure registers on the pump gauge. 1. Hose connector ECS00720 CAUTION: Do not overtighten the connector onto the air valve as this will damage the connector seal. 1. Bleed valve button 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 tightened 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 halfway down and hold it. To allow only a small amount of pressure to escape, push the button 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. Air pressure range: 345 kPa (3.4 kgf/cm², 50 psi) to 1,034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi) Recommended air pressure: 517 kPa (5.3 kgf/cm², 75 psi) 23

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.
