After EVERY job…

◦ Completely disassemble and rebuild the Shock Mitigater

◦ Inspect and replace the Viton tubing, if needed. If the Viton tubing shows any wear, or is brittle or hard, then replace the Viton tubing (9/16”OD x 5/16”ID Viton Tubing, 75A)

◦ With Formate Fluids > 8 pH, we recommend you replace the VITON tubing after EVERY job

◦ Clean and Re-grease the shaft and all the shoulder bolts with Blue FM Glacier Grease

IES Shock Mitigater MaintenanceIES Shock Mitigater MaintenanceIES Shock Mitigater MaintenanceIES Shock Mitigater MaintenanceAfter EVERY job…

◦ If any shoulder bolts break or bend, replace ALL the bolts

◦ Be sure the Shock Mitigater shaft moves freely (when no shoulder bolts are installed)

◦ Assemble the Shock Mitigater and tighten the shoulder bolts, hand tight.

◦ Replace the O-Rings, #5-964, 90A (Viton or Aflas) on the male Stub Acme threads, as needed, and re-grease the male Stub Acme threads on the Shock Mitigater, using the COPPER anti-seize grease
