I. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
a. Whenever working with the internals of a damper, be careful not to scratch the interior of the
pressure tube. This could cause the damper to function improperly.
b. Be careful not to scratch any sealing surfaces within the damper that would cause either internal
or external leakage of the unit after assembly.
II. Tools, equipment, an supplies
a. O-ring Lubrication
b. Bicycle tire pump for use with Schrader valve style inner tubes
c. Shock Vise – p/n: 310 30204
d. IDA Oil Drip Cup – p/n: 310 60201
e. IDA Body Wrench – p/n: 310 60200
III. Components
a. (1) Bladder Base Assembly - p/n: 310 600 0-XX
b. (1) End Cap Assembly - p/n: 310 600 1-50
c. (1) Quart Integra Shock Oil - p/n: 310 30900-1
IV. Instructions
a. Position the end cap assembly, p/n: 310 600 1-50, in the shock vise, p/n: 310 30204, with the
air fill valve facing toward the assembly technician.
b. Place IDA oil drip cup – p/n: 310 60201 around the end cap.
c. Ensure the (3) alignment balls are positioned properly in the end cap assembly p/n: 310 600 1-
50. Replace/reposition if necessary.

d. Place a small amount of grease over the air fill port in the end cap (as shown below) and the air
fill port in the base valve. This will keep oil from leaking into the nitrogen chamber during
assembly.
e. Fill the end cap with 0cc of shock oil – p/n: 31030900-1. This should be approximately ½ of the
way up to the bottom of the end cap threads. Be sure the alignment balls remain properly
seated.

f. Slowly slide the bladder base assembly - p/n: 310 600 0-XX into the end cap assembly. Oil
should bleed over the end cap assembly and into the drip cup. This process purges the air from
the base assembly. Be sure to align the o-ring port in the bottom of the base valve with the air
fill valve in the end cap as indicated in the photo below.
g. Press the bladder base assembly into the cap by applying force through the tube adapter as
shown.

h. Slide the locking ring down until it engages the end cap (as shown below) and tighten the locking
ring with the IDA body wrench – p/n: 310 60200. Be sure to hold the pressure tube stationary
and allow the locking ring to seat the pressure tube. Tighten only until a slight pressure on the
assembly can be felt.

i. Attempt to rotate the pressure tube a few degrees in either direction. If the anti-rotation balls
in the end cap have engaged properly, the tube will not be able to rotate. If the anti-rotation
balls are not engaged properly, slowly rotate the pressure tube in each direction until the balls
are engaged properly.
j. Continue tightening the locking ring with the IDA body wrench. Tighten the locking ring firmly,
but do not over-tighten, as too much torque will ruin the anti-rotation features within the
assembly.
k. Use the bicycle tire pump to apply 10psi – 15psi of pressure to the air fill valve in the end cap.
This will fill the bladder and force any air trapped in the passages of the base valve to be purged
up through the middle of the pressure tube. Do not fill the end cap with air from a constant
source such as an air compressor. This could cause the bladder to over expand and destroy the
bladder or unseat the sealing ends of the bladder.
l. Leave the 10psi – 15psi of air pressure in the unit until after the damper has been completely
assembled. This will aid in purging the air from under the piston assembly when the head
assembly is being installed into the base assembly.
m. Remove the oil drip cup, cover the open end of the pressure tube, and store the assembly with
the open end of the pressure tube facing up. This will ensure that the oil remains in the
reservoir around the bladder.
