*These instructions also apply to most S.I.D. rear air shocks in addition to the FOX shock, and most High Pressure shock pumps A FOX Racing Shock high pressure air pump is designed to be used with a FOX Float shock – either the R or RL models. It is used to add or release air pressure from your Float shock. 1 - Remove the air valve cap from your shock. 2 – Thread the pump’s valve chuck onto the shock’s air valve until pressure registers on the pump gauge. This takes approximately six turns. Do not over-tighten the pump on the air valve as this may damage the pump chuck seal. 3- Stroke the pump a few cycles. The pressure should increase slowly. If pressure increases rapidly, check to make sure that the pump is properly fitted and tightened onto the air valve. 4 – Pump to the desired pressure setting. You can decrease pressure by pushing the black bleed valve. Pushing the bleed valve half way down, and holding it there, will allow pressure to escape form the pump and shock. Pushing the bleed valve all of the way down and releasing it will allow only a small amount of pressure to escape (micro adjust). When unthreading the pump from the air valve fitting, the sound of air loss is from the pump hose, and not the shock itself. 5 – NOTE: When you attch the pump to the shock, the hose will need to fill up with air. This will result in a lower pressure registering about 10 to 20 PSI on the gauge. 6 – The average setting range is from 50 to 300 PSI. Do not exceed 300 PSI. 7 – Replace the air valve cap before riding. |
