1. Press plastic bush Ø5/Ø7x6,5 into the upper alum. shock absorber seals as shown in position 14 and insert the o-ring Ø22x1,5 in the groove.
2. Insert o-ring Ø24x1,5 in the groove of the plastic adjusting rings.
3. Mount the o-ring Ø20x1,5 into the groove of the lower alum. shock absorber seals.
4. Screw the lower reinforced shock fastenings on the thread of the threaded piston rods short and long until the thread can not be seen anymo-
re. Make sure you do not damage the piston rod. Therefore we recommend to use the pliers Item N°. 06854.
5. Impress the plastic bushes Ø4,5/Ø7x4 and gaskets Ø4,5 into the lower alum. shock absorber seals, then press the volume control Ø20 on the
plastic guiding disks and impress into the lower alum. shock absorber seals (see position 14a).
6. Push the threaded piston rods short and long carefully and with some shock absorber oil through the premounted alum. shock absorber seals
as shown in position 14b, then mount the plastic damper piston with disk Ø3,2 and stop nut M3. Do not tighten the stop nuts M3 too firm, make
sure the plastic damper pistons can still be moved.

housing.
9. Fill the shock absorbers with
shock absorber oil up to the top
and move the piston rod carefully
several times in and out so that
the air bubbles in the oil come
upwards. As soon as no air bub-
bles appear anymore, pull the
piston rod completely out and lock
the shock absorbers with the
upper alum. shock absorber seals.
10. Mount the orange damper
pressure spring 2,4x40, the plastic
spring guide and red damper pres-
sure spring 2,4x105 on the long
rear shock absorbers and secure
them with the alum. spring plates
as shown in position 14d. Fix the
orange damper pressure spring
2,4x105 on the short front shock
absorbers and secure it using the
alum. spring plates.
