Internal Floating Piston (IFP) Installation
Apply a very liberal amount of grease to the
new internal floating
piston (IFP).
Fill the groove on
both
sides of the IFP, and coat the outer and inner
surfaces.
NOTICE
The outer and inner surfaces must be coated with grease to prevent
stiction. The groove on
both
sides of the IFP must be completely filled
with grease to prevent air pockets from developing under the IFP.
Stiction and air pockets will negatively affect seatpost function.
Insert the IFP into the upper post and onto the IFP tube.
The IFP is symmetrical. Orientation of the IFP is not critical to
installation.
Use both thumbs or index fingers to carefully press the opposing
edges of the IFP into the upper post. Press only the edges of the IFP.
Stop when the IFP is level with the top of the IFP tube.
NOTICE
Do not cover the center of the IFP and IFP tube during installation.
Fluid must be free to displace when the IFP is installed.
⚠
WARNING - EYE HAZARD
When the IFP is pressed into the upper post fluid will be displaced
and may be ejected outward. Keep your eyes and face away from the
end of the upper post during installation. Wear safety glasses.
