Gently push the shock shaft
completely into the shock
body. Excess oil will flow
through the hole in the
shock cap.
Keep the shock shaft
pushed in the shock body
and tighten the shock cap
completely.
Tighten the cap fully but
do not overtighten or the
rubber membrane may be
damaged. Make sure that
there is no oil leakage
after the cap is tightened.
Extend the shock shaft
completely. Fill the shock
body with the shock oil.
Move the shock shaft up and
down a few times to release
the air bubbles trapped
beneath the piston.
Orient the filled shock
vertically for several
minutes with the shock
shaft fully extended. The
remaining air bubbles will
release.
Install the shock
membrane into the groove
in the upper shock cap.
Gently place the shock cap
assembly onto the filled
shock body. Excess oil will
spill from the shock. Screw
the shock cap onto the body
by only a few turns, approx.
50%. Excess oil will flow
through the hole in the
shock cap.
