FOX shocks have been designed, tested and manufactured in the USA for more than 35 years. 

As a consumer and supporter of FOX products, you need to be aware of the importance of setting up your 
shocks correctly to ensure maximum performance. This manual provides step-by-step instructions on how 
to set-up and maintain your shocks. It is a good idea to keep your proof of purchase with this manual and

CONSUMER SAFETY

WARNING: Driving a UTV can be dangerous and can result in death or serious injury. 

Take your responsibility for yourself and others seriously, and read the following safety tips:

The FOX coil-over shock contains a high pressure nitrogen charge. The shock should only be opened by 

an authorized FOX technician.

INJURY OR DEATH. NEVER attempt to disassemble the damper of your coil-over shock. Do not 

puncture or incinerate the shock absorber or damper portion. Always wear eye protection when installing
