Using the FOX High Pressure Pump
Forks
FOX High Pressure Pump
To change the air pressure in your fork:
1. Remove the aircap (shown below) from the top of the right fork leg. It is much easier to
remove the aircap on a TALAS fork by holding the lever with one hand and turning the
aircap with the other.
2. Connect the pump by threading the chuck onto the Schrader valve until the pump gauge
registers pressure. This takes about 6 turns. If the fork has no air pressure, the gauge will
not register. Do not over-tighten the chuck as it can damage the pump chuck seal.
3. Increase the pressure by stroking the pump a few times. Pressure should increase slowly.
If the pressure increases rapidly, check that the pump is properly connected to the Schrader
valve.
4. Decrease the pressure by depressing the black bleed valve. Push the bleed valve in halfway
and hold to allow continuous pressure release. Depress the bleed valve completely to
release pressure incrementally (micro adjust).
5. Disconnect the pump by unthreading the chuck. The sound of air loss is from the pump
hose, not the fork.
6. Install the aircap, and go ride.
