Set the Lockout to Party Mode.
Slowly compress the damper
body about 1/2 way or until
bubbles stop coming up in the
reservoir. Compressing slowly
helps reduce atomization of
the bubbles, allowing them to
rise out more quickly. Fully
extend the damper body.
Note: At this step, minimal
stroking will help prevent excess
aeration of the oil.
Angle the shock in the vise
so the bleed screw is pointing
slightly downwards. This sets
the ow path from the body to
the high point. Flip the Lockout
Lever to Work Mode. This will
create a strong resistance to
oil ow going to the reservoir.
Crack open the bleed screw
at the damper eyelet. Slowly
compress the damper body,
noting the air coming out the
bleed screw. At bottom-out or
when oil begins to show, stop the
compression and close the bleed
screw. Slowly extend the shock.

Always ensuring the reservoir
is about 2/3 full to prevent air
ingestion, repeat step 8 until
no air expels from the bleed
port. With bleed screw closed
and shock in Work mode, the
damper should be dicult to
compress, with no gap or soft
feel at the very beginning of
stroke. It may require 5 to 8
cycles to complete this step.
