7 Retaining rings have a sharper-edged side and a rounder edged side.
Installing retaining rings with the sharper-edged side facing the tool
will allow for easier installation and removal.
DebonAir: Guide the retaining ring with your finger to prevent
scratching the air shaft.
Dual Position Air: Push the air shaft into the upper tube to prevent it
from getting scratched while installing the retaining ring.
Place the tips of the retaining ring pliers into the eyelets of the retaining
ring, then use the pliers to push the seal head into the upper tube while
installing the retaining ring into the groove.
Hold the retaining ring in place and seat the retaining ring eyelets
on either side of the seal head tab (A). The seal head tab should be
positioned between the retaining ring eyelets.
Confirm the retaining ring is properly seated in the retaining ring
groove by using the retaining ring pliers to rotate the retaining ring
and seal head back and forth a few times, then firmly pull down on
the air shaft.
Do not scratch the air spring shaft. Scratches on the air shaft will allow
air to bypass the seal head into the lower leg, resulting in reduced
spring performance.
