SHOCK FILLING

Fully extend the piston rod so the piston is at the bottom of the shock body.

Hold the shock upright and fill the shock body with shock oil as in the picture.

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 bod.
Let the shock rest for 5 minutes to allow the air bubbles to scape.
