On all HPG take apart shocks from 1996 on. The
floating piston is installed hollow side up.
Required distance for floating piston installation.
NOTE: If the floating piston is installed too far into
the damper body, light air pressure through
Schrader valve (with core removed) will move pis-
ton outward.
NOTE: Reinstall Schrader valve core after IFP has
been installed at correct height and before adding
oil.
CAUTION: Moisture laden compressed air will
contaminate the gas chamber and rust floating
piston.
Fill the shock with Bombardier HPG shock oil (P/N
413 711 806) to approximately 10 mm (.393 in),
from the base of seal carrier threads.
1. Fill to 10 mm (.393 in)
NOTE: Although we do not measure the exact
amount of oil added to the damper, approximately
106 mL (3.58 oz U.S.) will be used.
Carefully insert damper rod into the damper body.
Install damper rod assembly into the damper body.
Lightly oil damper piston seal ring with shock oil
to ease installation.
NOTE: Some shock oil will overflow when install-
ing damper. Wrap damper with shop cloth to catch
possible overflow oil.
