You can easily install the upgrade from your EISENHORN 6 to Generation 7. To do this, proceed as follows:
Unscrew your existing EISENHORN 6 carriage from your column using the rotary knob.
Place your sledge (incl. horn and piston) on a scratch-free surface.
Follow the individual steps in the enclosed instructions to install your upgrade
The new “Magic retention function” allows you to move your horn with slight pressure over a small resistance – exactly at the point where your horn meets the stop pin. In future, you will feel a slight resistance every time you switch between the parking and training position.
For the upgrade, you also need to replace the bolt on the piston – two suitable bolts are already included in the scope of delivery. As the pin is secured with Loctite, a vice is helpful and necessary for the replacement. You will find all the information on the procedure in the detailed instructions.
Tip: You can loosen your piston pin more easily by using a hot air dryer. To do this, point the hot air gun directly at the piston pin at the highest temperature setting for about 3 minutes and at a short distance. You can then loosen the pin with a ring wrench and replace it. As the heated piston pin is hot, please do not touch it without protective clothing.
Please note that this upgrade is only compatible with generation 6. Earlier EISENHORN generations are not compatible with this upgrade.
