WARNING : Whenever using compressed
air exercise extreme caution, cover damp-
er opening with shop cloth to reduce chance of
possible injury.
CAUTION : Moisture laden compressed air
will contaminate the gas chamber and
rust floating piston.
WARNING : Always wear protective eye
wear whenever using compressed air.
Replace shock oil with Bombardier HPG shock oil,
(P / N 413 7094 00), to approximately 10 mm
(.393 in), from the base of seal carrier threads.
NOTE : Reinstall Schrader valve core before
next step.
Install damper rod assembly into the damper
body. Lightly oil damper piston seal ring with
shock oil to ease installation.
Seal carrier should be installed close to piston as-
sembly. Careful inspection of damper oil capacity
is required to insure that no air is in damper body
during assembly.
NOTE : Some shock oil will overflow when
installing damper for assembly. Wrap damp-
er with shop cloth to catch possible overflow oil.
CAUTION : Use care when passing piston
in t o d am p er b o d y a t d a m p er b o d y
threads.
Slight oscillation of damper rod may be required to
allow piston to enter damper body bore.
Slowly push piston into damper body. Slight up
and down movement may be required to allow all
air to pass through piston assembly.
NOTE : Fast installation of the damper rod
may displace the floating piston from its orig-
inal position. This must not occur if the damper is
expected to perform as designed.
With damper rod piston into oil volume, re-top
damper oil volume. Oil level should be to damper
body thread base.
Seal carrier assembly can now be threaded into
damper body. This should be done slowly to allow
weapage of shock oil from body while installing.
1. Torque seal carrier to 88-98 N•m (64-72 lbf•ft)
