MOUNTING YOUR SUSPENSION MODULE
GETTING STARTED
Congratulations on your purchase of a SHOCKWAVE S5 Marine Suspension
Module. We hope you enjoy this new boating experience offering you access to
new possibilities on the water.
• There must be sufficient deck structure
to support the weight of seat and
occupant within the vessels
operational envelope
• Thin or weak decks or mounting boxes
should have large washers or fish plates
on the bolting surfaces, if needed, to
prevent fasteners from pulling through
• There must be no flex in the seat
mounting or deck plate when the seat
is loaded
• Do not attach any equipment to the
suspension module
• Do not mount the suspension module in
the middle of an unsupported deck plate
• Ensure that the movement of the
suspension module does not interfere
with the vessel structure or equipment
• Properly torque deck mount
and fasteners
• Check operation of suspension module
after installation as it must not bind
or stick
• Remove the two attached spacers from
your SHOCKWAVE S5 - these will be
required if you need to adjust to one of
the two additional ride height positions.
See page 8 for instructions on changing
suspension module height
• Through-bolt the suspension module
or bolt to stainless steel inserts bonded
into the deck or equivalent structure
The suspension module must not be modified.
We have created a series of ‘how to’
videos on our website to help you
install your SHOCKWAVE S5. Visit

Strength of decks and deck mountings is the responsibility of the
boat builder or installer of the seats. SHOCKWAVE assumes no
liability for suspension modules that are incorrectly installed.
Incorrectly installed suspension modules can cause serious
injury or death and can cause damage to the vessel and the seat.
Prior to use be sure to pressurize the shock absorber! Do not
operate the seat without sufficient pressure in shock absorber or
serious injury and damage to the suspension module will result.
SETTING UP THE SUSPENSION MODULE
To achieve the best performance from the suspension module’s shock absorber, the pressure should be adjusted to attain
the proper sag setting. Sag is the amount the suspension compresses under the occupant’s weight and seat. Sag should be
set at 20% of total shock travel.
Warranty is void on suspension modules where incorrect
installation caused damage to the module.
6
STEPS TO SET UP THE SUSPENSION MODULE
1 Turn the 3-position lever at the base of the shock
absorber to the SOFT position. See page 5.
2 Pressurize the shock absorber to 100 PSI and remove
the pump.
3 Cycle the shock absorber through its travel by
bouncing on the seat 5 times. This will equalize the
positive and negative air chambers.
4 Use the pump to pressurize the shock absorber
(in PSI) to match the weight in pounds (lbs), of the
occupant and seat. Remove the pump before step 5.
5 Cycle the shock absorber through its travel by
bouncing on the seat 5 times.
6 Push the red o-ring against the rubber air sleeve.
7 Gently sit on the seat.
8 Get out of the seat.
9 Check the sag percentage marking on the Shock
absorber shaft. Sag is correct if the o-ring sits at
the 20% mark.
10 If the sag value is not at the desired level, inflate
or deflate the shock absorber in 10 PSI increments
and repeat steps 5-8 until the desired sag level
is achieved.
Do not sit on the seat with the SHOCKWAVE S5 Pump attached!
Damage will occur to the shock and pump. Note, SHOCKWAVE
S5 PUMP sold separately.
Do not exceed 350 PSI. The maximum shock absorber pressure.

SHOCK COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS
1 SOFT/MIN MODE
For operating in flat water and
light chop where the likelihood of
experiencing a slam is low. Mostly
inshore use. Gives a soft ride.
2 MEDIUM MODE
For operating in moderate to rough
conditions where some slamming
could occur. Gives a medium ride.
3 FIRM MODE
For operating in big seas and at higher
speeds where regular slamming will
occur. Gives a firm ride.
Setting the sag height is designed to be a starting point. To get the most out of the suspension module the shock absorber
can be fine-tuned. This is done using a combination of compression and rebound damping to optimize ride quality as well
as for varying sea conditions.
The suspension module comes with a 3-position blue lever that is designed to
make quick adjustments to optimize the performance of the shock absorber in
varying sea conditions. You can select three settings:

8-inch Height Configuration

CHANGING SUSPENSION MODULE HEIGHT
• Once you set the height of your
seat on your boat, if required, the
height of your suspension module
position can be changed by 1-inch
(25mm) to Mid Mount or 2-inch
(50mm) to Rear Mount.
• Remove the bolt from the front
mount and place it into either the
Mid mount or Rear Mount position.
• For the Mid Mount setting,
install the smaller, red spacer to
the top module plate using the
supplied fastener.
• For the Rear Mount setting,
install the larger, blue spacer to
the top module plate using the
supplied fastener.
The SHOCKWAVE S5 comes with the shock absorber in the front mount position
which is the lowest height configuration.
If a higher installation height is required you will need to install one of the two
spacers provided. These are required to properly change the height of your
suspension module. Use the procedure below to change the suspension
module height.
Do not change the suspension module height without using the
appropriate spacer.

REBOUND ADJUSTMENT
Rebound dampening controls the rate of speed at which the shock returns to the proper position after compressing. The
rebound adjustment is dependent on the air pressure setting. Higher pressure requires slower rebound settings. Use the
procedure below to find the correct rebound setting.
REBOUND ADJUSTER
FASTER REBOUND
• In high frequency and small wave
activity a faster rebound can improve
your suspension performance.
• Turning the red rebound adjuster
fully counter-clockwise maximizes
the shock rebound rate. This setting
is the fastest to return the seat to
your sag height.
SLOWER REBOUND
• In low frequency and large wave
activity a slower rebound can improve
your suspension performance.
• Turning the red rebound adjuster
fully clockwise reduces the shock
rebound rate. This setting is the
slowest to return the seat to your
sag height.
Do not sit on the seat with the SHOCKWAVE S5 Pump attached!
Damage will occur to the shock and pump. Note, SHOCKWAVE
S5 PUMP sold separately.

CLEANING Rinse your suspension module with fresh
water after each use to prevent build up of salt and
corrosion. Wash and treat surfaces with appropriate
products every month or as often as possible to prolong
appearance and service life.
LEAKS The shock absorber uses a patented sealing
system. The shock absorber should hold pressure
between settings and should only need to be topped up
occasionally. While it is recommended to regularly check
sag and damper settings, the shock absorber does not
require constant pressure adjustment.
SHOCK LEAK-DOWN Check the fill valve to see if debris
is interfering with its operation or perform a simple soap
solution test to identify the source of the problem.
BOLT TORQUE (TIGHTNESS) All fasteners are prone
to becoming loose from sustained high performance use.
SHOCKWAVE recommends that all bolts should be visibly
inspected for signs of being loose. Always use a thread-
locking sealant on threads to prevent loosening of parts.
SERVICE TIPS
Be sure to wash your suspension module properly. Thoroughly
wash module with fresh water and boat or car wash detergent,
removing all contaminants and surface corrosion.
