SPV REAR SHOCK SCHEMATIC
I N S TALLING AND REMOVING COIL SPRINGS
The following steps should be followed to remove and install the coil spring on
SWINGER and METEL rear shocks.
REMOVING THE SPRING
1. Turn the blue rebound knob all the way in (clockwise) for maximum clearance
with the spring. The blue rebound adjuster knob is not removable and
doing so will void the warranty of your rear shock.
2. Loosen the preload adjuster ring until the spring retainer clip can be removed
from the rear shock.
3. Remove the retainer clip.
4. Slide the spring off of the rear shock.
NOTE: If the spring will not clear the mounting hardware, the hardware must be
removed and re-installed after the new spring is installed. Care should be taken
when removing or installing the mounting hardware as to not damage the bushing
or eye.
INSTALLING THE SPRING
1. Slide the spring onto the rear shock. Install the spring retainer clip by sliding
it between the top of the spring and the non-shock body side eyelet head.
2. Tighten the preload adjuster ring until 1 mm of spring preload (compression)
is achieved. Make sure the spring retainer clip is flush with the top of the
spring and the eyelet head.
3. Re-install the mounting hardware.
4. Adjust the spring preload according to the spring preload and sag adjustment
sections of this manual.
REBOUND DAMPING ADJUSTMENT
The rebound damping controls the return rate of the rear shock after it has been
compressed to absorb a bump. Rebound damping can be adjusted for different
spring rates, terrain, and rider preferences. Rebound on all Manitou rear shocks
can be adjusted by the blue knob located on the shaft eyelet mount on coil rear
shocks and on the air canister eyelet mount on air rear shocks. As a general rule,
rebound that is adjusted for an overly fast rate will exhibit a springy ride that may
cause excessive pedaling movement and kick up the rear end on multiple bumps
and big hits. Rebound that is adjusted for an overly slow rate will exhibit a
"packing" of the rear wheel that is identified by a low ride height, stiff feeling on
multiple bumps and the rear wheel drifting to one side on stutter (braking) bumps.
A good rebound starting point is to set the rear shock to achieve a return
movement that is just short of "snapping back".
LOCKOUT
The S-TYPE SRL and RADIUM RL rear shocks feature a red lockout lever. Turning
the lever counterclockwise will close the compression circuit to keep the rear shock
from moving while climbing or riding on smooth surfaces. Manitou's lockout
system is what some refer to as a "soft lockout" meaning that even with the
lockout on, the rear shock will compress when it encounters larger bump forces.
For information and setup advice on remote lockout systems, please consult the
"Service guides" section of the answerproducts.com website.
EXTERNAL PLATFORM PLUS ADJUSTMENT
Turning the adjustment screw located on the reservoir of the METEL RPA and
SPLIT RPA rear shock clockwise will result in a firmer platform for more efficient
pedaling. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise results in less platform
for more active suspension. Do not over-tighten or back out this screw beyond its
stopping point. Doing so will void your warranty.
