Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, the Hydrolastic must be fitted correctly within the pole top kit. It is essential to use appropriate-sized internal PTFE bushes to prevent the elastic from rubbing against the carbon walls. Avoid using standard 'dura-bungs' that may pierce the hollow construction or displace the internal fluid.
Care Instructions:
- Periodically check the elastic for signs of wear or cracking, especially near the bung and the connector.
- When not in use for extended periods, store your top kits in a cool, dark place to prevent UV degradation of the material.
- Ensure that your elastic connector is compatible with hollow elastics to prevent kinking or damage to the internal core.
- Avoid over-stretching the elastic during transport or storage.
