Required distance for floating piston installation

The 1994 MX Z, center gas emulsion shock, does not use a floating piston. Center shock oil level
must be measured and adjusted to 80 mm (3.15 in). Measuring from the top edge of the damper
body to the oil level.
NOTE : If the floating piston is installed too far into the damper body, light air pressure
o
through Schrader valve (with core removed) will move piston outward.
NOTE : Reinstall Schrader valve core after IFP has been installed at correct height and
o before adding oil.
WARNING : Whenever using compressed air exercise extreme caution, cover damper
opening with shop cloth to reduce chance of possible injury.
CAUTION : Moisture laden compressed air will contaminate the gas chamber and rust
floating piston.
WARNING : Always wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air.
Fill the shock with Bombardier HPG shock oil (P/N 4137094 00) to approximately 10 mm (.393 in),
from the base of seal carrier threads.
