Test Compression
T e s t C o m p r e s s i o n
Use the adjuster knob to rotate the compression cam clockwise, until it
stops, to the firm position.
The cable tie must be
34 mm
from the end of the shaft.
Do not
compress the rebound damper further than this point.
Cover the purge hole with a shop towel.
⚠
CAUTION
Oil may exit the cartridge tube purge hole. Wear saftey glasses and
keep your eyes and face away from the purge hole when compressing
the rebound damper.
Push down on the damper assembly slowly to test the firmest
compression setting. Firm and consistent resistance should be felt with
no gaps in movement.
Rotate the compression damper to open setting and repeat the
compression test. Light consistent resistence should be felt with no
gaps in movement.
If gaps are felt during compression, repeat the oil fill and purge
process. If the assembly process was successful, set the compression
damper to the open setting and remove the cable tie.
