1, Vertically mount the shock cylinder, then pull the shaft to the lowest position. Now fill the cylinder full with the shock oil.
2, Slowly pull the shaft up and down several times, then there are bubbles float on top.
3, Wait for about 5-10 minutes! Remove the air bubbles, and again pulling the shaft to lowest, then slowly add oil to full fill the cylinder.
4, Mount the shock bladder/diaphragms in the shock cap.
5, Twist the shock cap onto the cylinder, but do not tighten it completely, leaving about 2 mm of space.
6, Push about half of the shaft into the cylinder, and the oil would flow out from the space of the thread – Now tighten the shock cap.
7, Pull the shaft up and down for several times. Now it should be easy to push the shaft all the way to the top. Otherwise:
A, If you can not push the shaft to the top end, it means too much oil. Excess oil in the cylinder will form leaks later. Unscrew the cap to approximately 2 mm and repeat the step 6.
B. If a“buzz”is sounded when pushing the shaft, this is a case that the oil in the cylinder is insufficient. Open the shock cap and add more oil. Repeat steps 2-6.
If the shock has oil added properly, after push the shaft to the top end and release, the shaft should be “pop-up” about half inch. If all shaft pop-up, it must be too much oil, or air bubbles.
