Shock Manual:

With every set of Super Shox we include a manual that has a guide for setting the adjusters and gas pressure based on track conditions and dyno sheets for your shocks. The manual also includes directions on how to set gas pressure and maintaining the shocks.

Gas Charging:

Gas pressure should be checked on a regular basis before each race. In the shock manual there is recommended pressure settings for each corner of the car based on track conditions.

To check the gas pressure attach the filling tool to schrader valve by hand tightening the hex nut. When tight turn the T-handle clockwise to compress the valve core. The gauge will now show how much pressure is in the shock. The filling tool uses 3 lbs. of pressure to fill up so the acutal reading is 3 lbs. less than what was in the shock before attaching the filling tool.

To add pressure remove the purple cap and use the air chuck on the hose to add 20 lbs or more pressure than needed. Put the purple cap back on and turn it in untill it begins to compress the valve core this will bleed off the excess pressure. When the pressure is set turn the T-handle counter clockwise to close the valve core, then remove the filling tool. As you begin to remove the filling tool you will hear gas pressure release, this is the gas that was in the filling tool not the shock.

Caution: A common mistake is to remove the filling tool before closing the valve core if this happens you will loose all pressure in the shock!

Gas pressure can be set with the shock extended or on the car. The recommenations in the manual are for setting the pressure on the car. If you prefer to set the pressure extended use 15 lbs more than what the manual recommends.

After working from the manual you will learn what pressures best suit your car, driver and track conditions.
