USING A SHOCK PUMP

These simple steps will help you get the most accurate use of your shock pump and improve the life of your shock pump.

1.When screwing the pump onto the shock do not screw it on all the way until it stops. This will damage the seal on the pump and also allow too much air to escape when you remove the pump.

2.Watch the pressure gauge on the pump when you screw the pump onto the shock. Screw the pump on until the gauge registers a pressure and then another ¼ - ½ turn. At this point you now have a strong air seal.

3.When you remove the pump a small amount of air will always be lost. If you follow our recommendation above the pressure loss will only be approximately 5% rather than up to 50% if the pump is screwed all the way onto the valve. Because of this pressure loss when you have found a pressure that gives you the best performance from your frame you will need to add 5% extra pressure according to the gauge to leave the required pressure in the shock once the pump is removed.

E.g. Required pressure is 160psi, 5% = 8psi. Pump the shock until the gauge reads 168psi, remove the pump, 160psi will be left in the shock.
