FOX™ PODIUM 'Piggyback'
Rebuild Information
When performing maintenance on FOX™ shocks, use the
Gas Shock Recharging Kit (PN 2200421), as it contains
the necessary valves, pressure gauge, and fittings to
deflate and pressurize shocks.
FOX™ shocks contain high pressure nitrogen
gas. Extreme caution must be used while
handling and working with FOX™ shocks and
related high pressure service equipment. The
pressure must be released from the shock
before disassembly. It is strongly recommended
you wear safety glasses and ear protection
during these procedures.
TIP: Extreme cleanliness is very important during all
disassembly and reassembly operations. This prevents
dirt or foreign particles from entering the shock, which
causes premature failure.
