CAUTION: Do not clamp directly on shock
body.
Examine each shock for leaks. Extend and com-
press the piston several times over its entire
stroke. Check that it moves smoothly and with
uniform resistance with its rod upward.
After at least 5 complete strokes, pay attention to
the following conditions that will denote a defec-
tive shock:
– A skip or a hang back when reversing stroke at
mid travel.
– Seizing or binding condition except at extreme
endofeitherstroke.
– Oil leakage.
– A gurgling noise, after completing one full com-
pression and extension stroke.
Renew if any faults are present.
If suspecting a frozen shock proceed as follows:
Place shock in a freezer (temperature below 0°C
(32°F)) for 4 hours.
Push down on rod and note its resistance. If
shock is frozen it will be impossible to compress
than for the new one.
