DETAIL
Fully extend the piston rod so the piston is at the bottom of the shock body.
Hold the shock upright and slightly overfill the shock body with shock oil.
Let the oil settle and allow air bubbles to rise to the top. Slowly move the piston up and down until
no more air bubbles appear. Add shock oil as necessary.
Pull the piston rod most of the way out of the shock body. Let the shock rest for 5 minutes to allow
the air bubbles to escape.

After you insert the membrane ensure that
it sits properly all around the alu cup.
CUTAWAY VIEW
When installing the shock cap assembly
on the shock body, some oil will leak out...
this is normal.
Fully tighten the cap and clean off any
excess oil.
After the shock is assembled, the shock
rod will push itself out of the shock body
fairly quickly.
Follow the next procedure to adjust the
rebound.
SHOCK FILLING
Be careful not to cross-thread the
collar on the shock body.
