depth of 20 mm.
⚠
CAUTION- EYE HAZARD
Do not look directly into the reservoir as you push the IFP down. Oil
may be ejected from the IFP bleed port if you push the IFP down too
fast. Wear safety glasses.
Pour RockShox® 7wt suspension oil into the IFP reservoir until the IFP
is submerged.
Slowly push the damper body downward. Oil will begin to fill the
reservoir through the IFP bleed port. Stop when the damper body is
3/4 of the way through the travel.

Oil may be ejected from the IFP reservoir if you push the damper down
to fast. Wear safety glasses.
Slowly pull up on the damper body until it stops, making sure the IFP
stays submerged in oil. This will cycle oil from the reservoir back into
the damper body and purge air bubbles from the system.
Continue to pull up and push down on the damper body until no more
air bubbles emerge from the IFP bleed port.
