Step 13. Match the short, front shock bodies (137) to the short, front
shafts (130), and the long, rear shock bodies (138) to the long, rear
shafts (131).

Step 14. Fill the shock body (137), (138) with shock fluid (132) up to
the bottom of the threads.

Step 15. Insert the shaft assembly into the shock body (137), (138)
with the shock piston (135)(136) pulled up against the cartridge. Slowly
tighten the cartridge approximately two full turns. With the cartridge
still slightly loose, slowly push the shock shaft (130), (131) into the
shock body (137), (138). This will bleed the excess fluid out of the
shock. With the shaft (130), (131) all the way in, hand tighten the
shock cartridge the rest of the way.

*Note: Be sure to match the front shock shafts with the front

shock bodies.

Step 16. With the shaft (130), (131) still all the way in, secure the
cartridge by tightening it with pliers approximately an additional 1/8-
turn. There should be no air in the shock as you push the shaft (130),
(131) in and out. If there is, the shock needs more oil. If the shock
does not compress all the way, the shock has too much oil.

*NOTE: If leaking persists around the outside, tighten the car-

tridge more.

Step 17. Repeat Steps 14-16 for all four shocks.

Step 18. Snap a shock spring cup (140) onto each of the four shafts
(130), (131) and around the shock end (133).

Step 19. Slide a red shock spring (141) over each of the shocks so that
the springs rest on the spring cup (140).

Step 20. Insert a 4-40 x 3/8" cap-head screw (17) into the larger hole of
each of the four shock collars (139) and thread it into the smaller hole.

Step 21. With the collar (139) loose, slide it over the top of each shock
body (137), (138) and against the spring (141). Tighten the collar (139)
to hold it in place. 

Do not overtighten!

*NOTE: Final adjustment will be made later in the ride height

section in the tips portion of the manual.
