Control functions 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. NOTICE: Do not exceed 1034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi). [ECS00733] TIP 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.

TIP
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.

Push the hose connector lock lever
down, and then remove the hose connec-
tor from the air valve.
TIP
When removing the connector, the sound of
air escaping may be heard, but this is from the
pump hose, not the shock absorber.

The damping forces of the left and right
shock absorbers must be adjusted to the
same settings. Uneven settings can cause
poor handling and loss of stability.

shock absorber can be adjusted by turning its
compression damping force adjusting knob.
