INSTALLING THE RIPTIDE ULTERRA
e. Under the Left Sideplate, the Extension Damper
obstructs access to the left front Mounting Hole.
f. Using a small Screw Driver, remove the two
5/16" e-clips holding the Extension Damper in place.
Once the e-clips are removed, slide the Extension
Damper off the Damper Pins to expose the left rear
Mounting Hole. Set the two e-clips and Extension
Damper in a safe place so they are not misplaced
before they are reassembled later in the installation.
g. Make sure the Power Cables from the battery
are disconnected, or that the breaker, if equipped,
is “off”.
