How to Install the SYSPEND 180-MAX Suspension System

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for mounting and wiring the SYSPEND 180-MAX suspension system to ensure proper installation and functionality.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Spirit level, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Lock washers, Seals

  1. Prepare the mounting surface

    Ensure the mounting surface is smooth and flat to prevent issues with load and adjustment. Check for any obstructions that may interfere with installation.

  2. Mount the suspension system

    Lift the enclosure under the coupling (support may be necessary) and attach the lock washers to the screws. Fit the screws through the horizontal section into the coupling and tighten them with a torque of 6 Nm.

  3. Adjust the vertical and horizontal tubes

    Loosen the screws on the vertical and horizontal tubes. Adjust them to the desired position and then tighten the screws with a torque of 10 - 12 Nm to secure the alignment.

  4. Install the seals

    Adhere the seals to the underside of the adapter or coupling to ensure a proper fit and prevent any ingress of dust or moisture.

  5. Verify the installation

    Use a spirit level to check that the suspension system is level. Make any necessary adjustments before finalizing the installation.
