The spring-pre-tension at the upper end of the shock absorber can be adjusted by turning a knurled nut (A). Ensure
that the shock absorber body does not turn along and is turned from the shock absorber cap by this (oil loss threa-
tens).
Theshockabsorbersatthevehicle‘sfrontandrearvehicleaxlescanbemountedindifferentpositionslowertransver-
se link (C) and at the top of the damper bridge (B). The manufacturer has, however, already chosen the best position;
therefore, only professional drivers should change these.
Always set the shock absorbers for one axle evenly (at the left and right wheels of the front or rear axle). Otherwise,
drivingbehaviourwillbeinuencednegatively.
Optional accessories (not included in the delivery; can be ordered separately) that can be used include springs with a
differentstiffnessordamperoilofadifferentviscosityforllingtheshockabsorbers.
Justaswitha„real“car,themodelvehicle‘sshockabsorbers(ortherubbersealsinthem)areawearpart.Ifoilis
running from the shock absorbers (e.g. transverse link strongly oiled, dripping traces), the seals or shock absorbers
must be replaced.
d) Wheel Change
The tyres are glued to the wheel rim to prevent them from coming loose. When the tyre is worn down, the entire wheel
has to be replaced therefore.
The wheels are available pre-assembled, i.e. tyres glued to wheel rims, as spare parts.
If you want to purchase the wheel rims and tyres separately, you still have to glue the tyres to the wheel rims.
A tyre not or improperly glued on may loosen while driving (e.g. in fast curves) or the tyre may turn on the
wheel rim.
Toscrewofforattachthewheelnut,asocketwrench(size17)oranothertoolsuitableforitisrequired.
