Shock Pump; Tightening Torque - Giant NRS 2004 Owner's Manual

4-10 Shock pump.

To increase or control the air pressure of the shock, a special air pump is needed.
A pump is supplied with each NRS™ bike / frame set.
See figure 5: the pump on the picture may be a different one from the pump that comes with the bikes.
a = pump head
b = micro adjust knob
c = gauge.

5. Tightening torque.

The bolts used for the rear suspension (rear shock and pivots) are high-grade products and have been
tightened in the factory with specific torque. If it is necessary to remove or tighten the bolts, extreme care
should be taken when re-tightening them.
All bolts should be cleaned and re-set using Loctite
Threadlock (#242).
For the location and tightening torque of all bolts please refer to figure 6.
