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.
Pay attention to the following conditions which
will denote a defective shock:
– A skip or a hang back when reversing stroke at
mid travel.
– Seizing or binding condition except at extreme
end of either stroke.
– Oil leakage.
– A gurgling noise, after completing one full com-
pression and extension stroke.
