Invert reservoir (hose connector upward). Using
the two thumbs apply pressure on floating piston
to position floating piston to depth of 43 ± 2 mm
(1-11/16 ± 5/64 in). Measure from the top edge of
reservoir body.
NOTE: If the floating piston is installed too far into
reservoir body, wait for damper rod assembly in-
stallation to adjust floating piston position.
RESERVOIR HAS BEEN REVERSE TO SHOW HOW TO MEASURE
1. Concave side of piston facing upward
A. 43 ± 2 mm (1-11/16 ± 5/64 in)
Damper Assembly
Replace damper oil with Bombardier HPG shock
oil (P/N 413 7094 00) to the base of damper seal
carrier threads.
1. Damper rod assembly
2. Damper body
3. Oil level
Install damper rod assembly into the damper
body. Lightly oil damper piston seal ring with
shock oil to ease installation.
NOTE: Some shock oil may overflow when in-
stalling damper rod assembly. Wrap damper with
shop cloth to catch possible oil overflow.
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.

CAUTION
When positioning floating piston ensure
that reservoir is in vertical position (hose
connector facing upward). This will allow air
to exit from reservoir. Oil transferring from
reservoir to damper body indicates that no
more air remains in reservoir.
