Replace M300 Shock Absorbing Balls

Since the maximum load weight of the original shock-absorbing ball of the M300 is less than 1Kg, it is necessary to replace the original shock-absorbing ball to the new equipped balls.

1. Take out the shock-absorbing balls from the transport container (slot 4).

2. As shown in the following figure, remove 4 original shock-absorbing balls from M300 using M4 allen wrench (it is recommended to replace all the original shock-absorbing balls one by one). Push the shock-absorbing ball from the groove edge towards the center. Repeat this process a few times until it comes off. Avoid pulling or yanking with force, as it may cause damage to the shock-absorbing ball.

When removing the shock-absorbing ball, use the round end “1” to remove it. Do not use the right-angle end “2” to remove it, as it may damage the shock-absorbing balls.

3. Replace all the original shock-absorbing balls one by one. When installing the new shock-absorbing ball, insert the bottom rubber ring down first, then insert the top rubber column from the top bracket and pull the rubber column up.

It is recommended to install a new shock-absorbing ball every time when user remove an original one to prevent the load plate from falling off or becoming misaligned.
