Pour RockShox 5wt suspension oil into the upper tube.

NOTICE

Suspension oil volume is critical. Too much oil reduces available travel 

and can damage the fork. Too little suspension oil decreases damping 

performance.

Use the compression adjuster knob to open the valve (A).

A closed compression valve will restrict oil flow during installation.

Insert the compression damper into the upper tube. Press down slowly 

and rotate in a circular motion until the damper is installed.
Thread the top cap into the upper tube.
