• Inspect all components for any signs of shipping damage.
• Бардык керектүү шаймандар жана коопсуздук жабдуулары бар экенине ынаныңыз.

Жалпы орнотуу көрсөтмөлөрү:

1. Унааны тегиз жерде коопсуз көтөрүп, колдоп туруңуз.
2. Remove existing suspension components as required.
3. Mount the ShockWave units securely using appropriate hardware. Ensure proper alignment and clearance.
4. Connect air lines to the air spring portion of the ShockWave. Use high-quality fittings and ensure all connections are leak-free.
5. Route air lines away from hot or moving parts.
6. Inflate the air springs to a preliminary pressure (e.g., 50-70 psi) to check for leaks and proper function.

Аба басымын жөндөө:

The air pressure in your ShockWave units directly affects ride height and spring rate. Adjust pressure using an air compressor and a precise gauge. Always adjust both sides of the vehicle equally to maintain balance.

• For Ride Height: Increase pressure to raise the vehicle, decrease pressure to lower it.
• For Ride Firmness: Higher pressure generally results in a firmer ride; lower pressure results in a softer ride. Do not exceed maximum recommended pressure (100 psi for 7000 series).

Shock Valving Adjustment:

The HQ Series features single adjustable shock valving with 24 rebound clicks. This allows you to fine-tune the damping characteristics of your shocks.

1. Locate the adjustment knob on the shock body.
2. Turn the knob clockwise for a firmer rebound (more damping), and counter-clockwise for a softer rebound (less damping).
3. Start with a mid-range setting (e.g., 12 clicks from full soft) and adjust incrementally to achieve your desired ride feel.
4. Test drive the vehicle after adjustments to evaluate changes.
