Important Notice

Note!
The shock absorber is a very important part of the vehicle and will affect the stability.

Read and make sure that you understand all information in the Öhlins Owner’s Manual and the Mounting Instructions before you use the product. If you have any questions regarding installation or maintenance please contact an Öhlins dealer.

Always begin by taking your vehicle for a test drive with all adjustments at their basic settings. Choose a short run of varying character with long and sharp bends, hard and soft bumps. Stay to the same run and adjust only one setting at a time.

Before driving, always ensure that the basic settings made by Öhlins have not been changed during delivery. When adjusting, always make notes, adjust in small steps and make only one adjustment at a time. Do not adjust more than four [4] clicks at a time.

Öhlins Racing AB can not be held responsible for any damage to the shock absorber, vehicle, other property or injury to persons, if the instructions for installing and maintenance are not followed exactly.
