the IFP reservoir into the shock body through
the small port located at the bottom of the IFP
reservoir. Continue to fill the IFP reservoir until
the oil level in the shock body reaches a depth

procedure effectively dislodges air bubbles from
the system. Top off the oil in the shock body in
order to continue oil flow from the shock body
to the IFP reservoir (oil will continue to overflow
from the IFP reservoir, this is normal).
