Casting Install - Manitou R7 EXPERT Service Manual

CASTING INSTALL

Apply a thin layer of either
1
Slickoleum grease or semi-bath
oil to the inside surface of the fork
seal.
Tightly assemble shock pump fitting
2
to comp rod end fitting. Inflate the
air spring to 50 PSI. The air spring
should not move during inflation.
With the shock pump still attached,
lightly pull the comp rod to full
extension so that some compression
of the internal top-out bumper can be
felt. Remove the shock pump. This
process will ease casting installation.
Lightly pull the rebound damper
3
rod to full extension.
