with set-up data
During storage and transportation,
especially at high ambient temperature,
the oil and grease used for assembling
may run out inside the packing and
damage the expanded polystyrene
packing material. This is not unusual
and is in no way detrimental to the
product.

When delivered the Öhlins shock absorber is
dialed to recommended settings for the specific
brand and make of the vehicle. If you have
changed the setting, reset according to the Set-
up data.
To reset: The adjuster has a right hand thread.
Turn the adjuster clockwise to fully closed (pos.
zero [0]). Turn counter clockwise to open and
count the clicks until you reach the recommended
number in the Set-up data.
