Product Usage Instructions

  1. Step 1: Locate the Shock
    Remove the baby changing station from the wall. Turn the unit over so that you can access the shock on the rear of the station. At the top of the gas shock there is a “C” clip that holds the shock onto the ball stud. To remove the gas shock carefully slide a flat head screwdriver in-between the shock and the “C” clip. Once the tension on the “C” clip is removed you will be able to pull the gas shock off the ball stud. Fig. 1, 2.

  2. Step 2: Gather Tools
    The lower part of the shock is attached to the unit by a 3½” bolt.The head of the bolt and nut require 7/16″ wrench or socket wrench to remove them. Once the nut is removed from the bolt you will be able to remove it from the lower tab on the shock. The hole on the tab is designed to be a snug fit so it may require some force to slide it off. Fig. 3, 4.

  3. Step 3: Remove Old Shock
    Take the new shock and insert the bolt through the tab. Secure the bolt using the nut and washer. Ensure that everything is in the same locations as they were before you removed the old shock.

  4. Step 4 : Install New Shock
    With the unit on the ground, compress the shock until you can align the head of the shock with the ball stud and push the head of the shock onto the ball stud. Make sure the head is secure by twisting it from side to side..

  5. Step 5: Test the Replacement
    Open and close door of unit several times to make sure that the shock is functioning properly. Remount unit following the proper installation instructions that were provided with the unit.
