Pour RockShox® 7wt suspension oil into the IFP reservoir until it is level
with the top of the reservoir.
Use the palm of your hand to tap down on the top of the reservoir
repeatedly to move oil through the damper shaft. This will assist in
purging air bubbles from the system.
Continue to tap on the top of the reservoir until no more bubbles
emerge from the damper shaft.
Once the system is purged of bubbles, cover the damper shaft with
your finger to temporarily seal the system.
With your finger still on the damper shaft opening, pour RockShox® 7wt
suspension oil into the IFP reservoir until it is level with the top of the
reservoir.
Install the IFP, flat side up, into the IFP reservoir. Use a metric caliper or
ruler to push the IFP into the reservoir to a depth of 20 mm.
The IFP should be submerged in oil.
⚠
CAUTION- EYE HAZARD
Do not look directly into the reservoir as you push the IFP down. Oil will
be ejected from the IFP bleed port. Wear safety glasses.
