QuestionCan shoktrols be installed in other positions other than vertical?
AnswerThe vertical position is recommended, but the shoktrol can also be placed in the up-side down position. If installed in any “horizontal” position, there is a possibility that the inside bellows will rub against the outside casing potentially causing damage to the walls of the shoktrol or the bellows themselves.
