Mounting of rear shock absorbers Marder/Baja
1. Mount o-rings 13x2,5 on the top of shock absorber locking M5 and lower
shock absorber locking A (position 14/14a).
2. Push retaining washer Ø3,2 in the first slot of the long damper piston
rod, then mount the damper piston with the recess facing towards the
retaining washer and fix it with a second retaining washer Ø3,2 (position
14b).
3. Press the lower shock absorber locking B (with the flat side facing the
damper piston), two o-rings 4x2 and upper shock absorber locking A
(with the thread facing the damper piston) on the long damper piston
rods.
4. Screw the short damper fixing on the thread of the long damper piston
rod until the thread is no longer visible. Now press it in the shock absor-
bers housing and screw it tight (position 14b).
5. Pull out the damper piston rod completely and fill the shock absorber
housing with oil to the start of thread. Now slide the damper piston rod
slowly several times in and out the shock absorber housing so that the
air bubbles in the oil will come upwards. If no longer air bubbles appear,
push the damper piston rod slowly into the shock absorber housing until
there are only approx. 5mm visible of the piston rod (position 14c). Then
screw the upper shock absorber lockings M5 on the shock absorber
housings (position 14d).
6. Mount one narrow and one wide damper collet each and a blue dam-
per pressure spring on the shock absorber housings and secure them
with the spring collars (Position 14e).
Mounting of front shock absorbers Marder/Baja
1. Dismount the rear shock absorbers from your existing 2WD model and
disassemble damper pressure springs, spring collar, damper fixings and
damper collets.
2. Screw the short damper fixings on the thread of the damper piston
rods until the thread is no longer visible.
6. Mount two narrow damper collets and a violet damper pressure spring
on the shock absorber housings, secure them with the spring collars
(position 14e).

Mounting of shock absorbers Monster/Stadium
1. Mount the o-rings 13x2,5 on the upper shock absorber lockings M5 (positi-
on 14).
2. Dismount four shock absorbers from your existing 2WD model ans disas-
semble damper pressure springs, spring collar, damper fixings and damper
collets.
3. Screw two long and short damper fixings each on the thread of the
damper piston rod until the thread is no longer visible.
4. Dismount the upper shock absorber lockings M4, remove the oil from
the shock absorbers.
5. Pull out the damper piston rod completely and fill the shock absorber
housing with oil to the start of thread (position 14c). Now slide the dam-
per piston rod slowly several times in and out the shock absorber hou-
sing so that the air bubbles in the oil will come upwards. If no longer air
bubbles appear, push the damper piston rod slowly into the shock absor-
ber housing until there are only approx. 5mm visible of the piston rod.
Then screw the upper shock absorber lockings M5 on the shock absor-
ber housings (position 14d).
6. Mount each two narrow damper collets, one violet damper pressure
spring on the shock absorber housings with the long damper fixings and
secure with spring collars. Now mount each two wide damper collets,
one blue damper pressure spring on the shock absorber housings with
the short damper fixings and secure with spring collars (position 14f).

Hint: Slightly lubricate the o-rings with
silicone oil when mounting. If you use
the FG mounting tool 06853 + 06854,
the mounting of the shock absorbers
will be eased considerably.
