SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended to guide the user through basic service of Manitou Swinger rear shocks. Service is
supported by the identification of common parts and assemblies that have been assembled into Service Kits.
The purpose of this manual will be to describe conditions that may drive the need for service and to provide
installation instructions for the kits.
Due to the time-consuming nature rear shock service, at this time our primary focus is to offer service kits that
minimize the amount of downtime and labor involved. As the program matures, and we are able to gather
feed back from our customers, we may offer kits to a more detailed level.
Important information is highlighted in this manual by the following notations:
WARNING
Failure to follow WARNING instructions could result in severe injury or death to the
person inspecting or repairing the shock absorber or the shock absorber operator
CAUTION
A CAUTION a caution indicates special precautions that must be taken to avoid damage to
the shock absorber.
NOTE
A NOTE provides key information to make procedures easier or clearer
GENERAL WARNING: Rear shocks by design contain gases and fluids under extreme pressure and
warnings contained in this manual must be observed to reduce the possibility of injury or possible
death. Following these instructions can help you reduce the risk of being injured. Any questions in
regards to the information in this manual should be directed to Answer Products Customer Service at
(661) 257-4411.
WARNING: The Swinger Shock uses compressed air to provide fluid pressure in the
damping system and spring resistance in Air models. BOTH systems must be relieved of
pressure prior to servicing these systems. Failure to relieve air pressure could result in
injury or possible death.
CAUTION: The Swinger Shock uses precision machined aluminum and other soft alloy
components. Using correct tools for assembly is essential to prevent damage.
SECTION 2: SETUP, TUNING, PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Instructions for shock setup, tuning, and periodic rider maintenance is not covered in detail in this manual.
Please refer to the Manitou Swinger Rear Shock Owner's Manual (PN 042105) for that information. If you did
not receive a manual, you can download one at www.answerproducts.com or contact Answer Products
Customer Service at (661) 257-4411.

SECTION 3: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Air Canister – Can that holds the air spring air in an air shock.
Air Preload Adjuster Located on the reservoir of SPV shocks. It contains the red Schrader valve for
setting the SPV pressure and a hex fitting for adjusting the air volume (air preload)
Bottom Out – Point at which a shock reaches full compression.
Control Eyelet (C-End) – Eyelet that is on the rebound adjuster end of a shock. The air canister is attached
to this end on air shocks and the spring retention collar is attached to this end on coil shocks.
Damper Eyelet (D-End) - Eyelet that is on the damper body end of a shock. On SPV shocks, this is the end
that contains the SPV valve and reservoir if applicable.
Damper Body – Section of shock that contains the damping system
Damper Piston – Piston in that controls the flow of oil during compression and rebound.
Damper Shaft – Shaft attached to the damper piston that connects the two moving sections (damping system
and control eyelet) of the shock together.
Damping System - Controls compression and rebound rate (speed). The system also provides the peddling
platform unique to shocks with the SPV technology.
DU Bushing – Teflon guide bushing pressed into the eyelets. Mounting hardware is inserted into the DU
bushings and rotates within the bushing as need by the suspension design.
Eyelet – Found on each end of the shock, it is where the DU bushing and mounting hardware are and
provides the connection between the shock and bicycle.
Internal Floating Piston (IFP) - A floating piston that separates damping oil from the SPV air chamber or
reservoir.
Mounting Hardware – Spacers that allow shocks to be mounted into the wide variety of suspension designs.
Schrader, Air Black in color, it is the valve for pressurizing the air canister in an air shock
Schrader SPV - Red in color, it is the valve for pressurizing the SPV system.
Seals: O-Rings - Black synthetic rubber with a round cross section. Primarily used for fluid
sealing.
Seals: Quad Seals - : Black synthetic rubber with an “X” cross section, primarily used for sealing air.
Seals: Wipers – Teflon ring, used for keeping debris out of quad seals, guiding the damper piston, and
providing support.
Top Out – Point at which a shock returns to its full extension.

SECTION 4: AIR SPRING SYSTEM AND SPV AIR PRELOAD, SWINGER AIR, S-Type
WARNING: The Swinger Air uses compressed air to provide resistance to compression in
place of a coil spring. You must be certain that the air canister is relieved of all pressure
prior to servicing the air system. Failure to relieve air pressure could result in injury or
possible death.
Sealing of the shock is accomplished through a series of o-rings, quad seals, and wipers. When the air
canister is removed, these seals can be replaced from Seal Kit C.
1. Failure of an air shock to maintain air
pressure is usually the result of defective or
worn seals. If there is suspicion of an air
leak, pressurize the air canister to 150psi
from the adjuster eyelet Schrader Valve and
the SPV Air Preload Schrader to 100psi.
Locate the leak by spraying the air canister
and Schrader joints with a mild solution of
dish soap and water or submerge in a
bucket of water. Bubbles will form in from
the area of leakage.
2. For leaks at the adjuster eyelet or damper
end of the air canister, refer to the detailed
disassembly instructions contained in the
section on DAMPING SYSTEM BLEEDING
- Swinger Air . This will guide you on how to
replace the applicable o-rings and seals.
3. For leaks at the Schrader valves, release all
air pressure and replace the Schrader valve
core or assembly as needed. The core is
removed using a standard core removal
tool. The assembly is removed by removing
the core and unscrewing the assembly by
inserting a 3mm hex into the center of the
valve.
Adjuster Eyelet SPV Air Preload
(Air Spring)Schrader
4. For leaks in the air preload reservoir area
(4W Swinger), release all pressure replace
the preload adjuster o-ring, Schrader valve
core, or Schrader assembly as needed.
5. If when you pressurize the air canister the
shock collapses to its shortest travel
position, the shock has an air piston leak
into the negative chamber. Place the shock
in the shock tester and extend it to its full
travel. Depress the adjuster eyelet Schrader
while the shock is extended under load. If it
remains in the full travel position, refer to
the section on DAMPING SYSTEM
BLEEDING - Swinger Air for instructions on
servicing the air canister and piston seals.
6. If the shock returns to the short travel
position, it is not serviceable and the entire
shock must be replaced.
WARNING: Attempting to service a
shock with this condition could result in
injury or possible death.
