REAR SHOCK SERVICE
When performing maintenance on Fox
t
shocks, use
the Gas Shock Recharging Kit ( PN 2200421 ), as it
contains the necessary valves, pressure gauge, and
fittings to deflate and pressurize shocks.
WARNING: Fox
t
shocks contain high pressure
nitrogen gas. Extreme caution must be used while
handling and working with Fox
t
shocks and related
high pressure service equipment. The pressure must
be released from the shock before disassembly. It is
strongly recommended you wear safety glasses and
ear protection during these procedures.
TIP: Extreme cleanliness is of utmost importance
during all disassembly and reassembly operations.
This prevents dirt or foreign particles from entering the
shock which causes premature failure.
