Recommendations for use and maintenance:
1. Periodically check the condition of the shock absorber rubber dust protective sleeves (for example at oil and filter service intervals). If they show cracks, cuts, gaps between the sleeve and the shock absorber, replace them as soon as possible. Damage caused by missing/failed sleeves is not covered by warranty. The rubber dust protective sleeves are included in the package.
2. Periodically check tire pressure. Recommended range provided: 1.8 to 2 (1.8 for comfort, 2 for highway conditions).
3. Adjust wheel geometry (especially convergence angles) after 500–1000 km from suspension installation.
Warranty conditions & documentation: To benefit from warranty, installation must be performed in an authorized workshop. Warranty claims must be accompanied by proof of purchase (invoice, warranty certificate) and proof of installation in an authorized service (installation invoice and work order/estimate).
Important for shock absorber warranty claims: Shock absorbers submitted for warranty may be sent to the manufacturer’s factory for laboratory analysis. This analysis involves opening the shock absorbers; as a result, they cannot be returned in the same condition and are scrapped by the factory.
Homologation / documents: Any available homologation documents are listed in the product’s “Attachments” section. We do not know the specific legal requirements of each country; beyond the documents already listed there, we can only provide the manufacturer’s certificate of conformity issued in our own name.
