These instructions cover the replacement of the Absolute or TPC damper with the

Absolute+ damper.

1. Turn adjuster knob all the way counterclockwise. Remove adjuster knob. (Fig.1)

A. Loosen adjuster knob screw with a 2mm hex wrench.

B. Remove adjuster knob, (2) detent balls and (2) detent springs.

2. Use a ratchet with a 24mm socket to loosen the damper for forks with Absolute (Fig. 2).

For TPC you will need a 20mm socket.

3. Remove the damper from the fork.

4. Set oil to proper height. Oil heights can be found in our service guides page at

www.manitoumtb.com/support/ The oil height refers to the amount of air space from

the top of the oil to the top of the crown. Recommended fork oil is Maxima® 5w.

5. Turn adjuster hex on damper all the way counter-clockwise and install the Absolute+

damper into fork.

6. Tighten the damper using a ratchet with a 24mm socket. Use a torque wrench to torque

to 5,1-6,2 N m [45-55 in lb].

7. Install the detent springs and detent balls into the top cap. The orientation should be at

180° from each other. A small amount of grease may be used to hold the detent balls in

place. (Fig. 3)
