SHOCK CLEANING

Oil-fi lled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil breaking
down or getting dirty. This maintenance should be performed after about
every 3 to 5 hours of use, depending on the conditions that the vehicle is
used in.
• Remove the shock from the vehicle.
• Remove the cap from the shock body and dispose of fluid.
• Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with a plastic- and
electronic-safe degreaser (DYNE50001). Dry parts before assembly.
• Re-assemble the shock and refill the shock body with silicone fluid
(30 weight recommended).
• Slowly move the shaft and piston up and down to remove air bubbles.
• Move the piston to the midway point of the body and install the cap.
• Wipe off any overflowing fluid.
• When properly filled, the piston should rebound about 3/8 in (9.5mm)
after being pushed in fully.
• Re-install the shock on the vehicle.

RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Ride height is an adjustment that affects the way the vehicle jumps, turns
and goes over bumps. Drop one end of the vehicle from approximately 6
inches (152 mm) in height onto a fl at surface. When dropping the front of
the vehicle, after the vehicle settles, make sure the front arms are equal
and parallel to the fl at surface. Do the same with the rear to make sure
both arms are parallel with the fl at surface.
Lowering the front ride height increases steering, but decreases traction.
Lowering the rear ride height increases traction, but decreases steering.
