Caution!
Ensure that all screws are tightened to the correct torque
and that nothing fouls or restricts movement of the shock

extended.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning!
It is advisable to have an Öhlins dealer install the shock
absorber.
Warning!
If working on a raised vehicle, ensure it is securely
supported so that it will not tip.
Note!
Before installing this product clean the vehicle thoroughly.
Note!
When working on this product, always see the vehicle
service manual for vehicle specic procedures and
important data.
Protect from heat
The working environment is very important
for the shock absorber’s performance and
longevity. Always pay attention to the shock
absorber temperature. For the TTX40/TTX
-
46MT shock absorbers, low temperatures are
normally not a problem whereas high temper
-
atures are.
Some heat is generated by the damping en
-
ergy, but most of the heat comes from being
close to the engine, exhaust or brake. Try to
keep the temperature below 90° C (approx.
200° F). If the shock absorber runs hotter
than 120° C (approx 250° F) try to allow some
cool air reach in to the shock absorber. Heat
shields may be necessary.
Caution!
Always protect the reservoir and the hose from heat.
