The DT Swiss shock pump has a pressure gauge (1) which can be used to precisely adjust the
fork's pressure. A release valve (2) allows the pressure in the fork to be reduced. A valve lever
(3) on the pump head (4) allows the shock pump to be unscrewed without any loss of pressure.
Operating the shock pump
A
Screw the pump head (4) fully onto the valve on the fork.
B
Close the valve lever (3) (push the lever towards the valve) and pump up the fork.
Closing the valve lever (3) opens the valve on the fork.
Pressing the release valve (2) allows the pressure in the fork to be reduced.
C
Open the valve lever (3) (push the lever towards the pump tube).
Opening the valve lever closes the valve on the fork. No air is able to escape from the
fork when the pump is unscrewed.
