Copy and paste the HTML code below: Forks have been serviced. New seals, oil change and so on. When my damper was out of the fork, the knob markings are not lining up with what the fork is doing. I'll be riding and the fork will suddenly become solid as if I were to turn the knob all the way to the right. So I keep playing with it. To get it fully opened (softest) i'm about 4-5 clicks in turned to the right. I tried to explain this the best I can. Anyone else having this problem? Have a good read of the SRAM service guide it really is quite good. I'm about to start doing my own servicing, starting with the basic oil and seals. I'M assuming the only oil I should see is the 10 and 40ml from the lowers, as the other 239 is contained in the mission control yes been a closed system? I would recommend downloading the appropriate sram guide and follow that as well. Just trying to find one for the team so I don't come across anything surprising with the additional internals. I'll keep looking around. Cheers. Maybe when I get the hang of it ill do one myself. I've checked three times everything and did not see any mistake, unless this all should be so (though I doubt it). THANKS ! Just wondering if the oil volumes and the measuring from the top of the stanchion to the top of the oil bit is the same for both 32mm and 35mm Boxxers If you look on the SRAM website all the info is there.Hope this helps. The only hiccup I came across was when it said to fill the rebound stanchion up with 290mm of oil and then measure from the top of the stanchion to the top of the oil and it should measure 105mm. Mine measured around 125mm i think!!! so i just added more oil to make it 105mm.was this a good move? Pff and the race season is only 4 weeks away. Thanks again!:-) cheers Just my rebound doesn't work as before, it's a bit slow. Any suggestions? If so then insert an allen key into the bottom of the rebound damper and check its rotation if it is not turning then a strip down will be reqd. http://dgelc.com/userfiles/20200829134056.xml

As a rule of thumb I tend to do a full service once a year and a lower leg service every 5 uplift days and as a result fork and stanchions are as new and super smooth. Hope this is of some help. Cheers! For the oil I tend to use either Silkolene or Shell Gemini. Hope this helps. Before following this guide, make sure you have the advised tool, and take care when disassembling, SouthernDownhill is not responsible for you causing any damage to your own forks, if you follow these correctly you should have a set of forks that feel like new, for longer. The red and silver dials will just pull off when this is removed. Put them to one side and don’t lose the black washer. Remove the crush washer and reinstall the shaft a few turns. Unscrew the rebound adjuster shaft and put aside. Tap the bolt firmly with the mallet and you’ll feel the compression rod give way inside the fork. Remove the bolt and put aside. Check the state of the oil seals and dust wipes. Remove the dial. Don’t remove them fully, just enough for you to be able to lift the dial off. Sometimes it is difficult to grip the stanchion with out it spinning, so pop it back into the crown, tighten up the pinch bolts and try again. If you have a thin 24mm flat wrench, you can fit this underneath the blue dial and remove the damper with out removing the dials. The colour can give a good indication as to the condition of the seals. Firmly pull the rod out of the lowers. Inspect the o-rings and replace is necessary. Pull the seal head off off the rebound rod and check the o’rings, re-grease and slide back on. Use the 24mm socket to remove the top cap. Pull out the bottom out rod followed by the spring. At the bottom of the stanchion, remove the circlip and pull the compression rod out. Take a note of the order of the parts at the end of this rod. Inspect the o-rings and replace is necessary. If you look closely, one end of the spring has a slightly smaller diameter. Drop the spring into the stanchion small end first. http://www.eu-long.com/upfiles/200829123946035002fl4xrs.xml

Grease the drop stop bumper and insert into the spring. Screw on the top cap with the 24mm socket, just past snug and refit the adjuster knob with the 1.5mm hex. Reinstall the circlip. Make sure the stanchion is vertical, and pour 245ml of 5wt suspension oil into the top of the stanchion. This volume has to be pretty accurate, too much and the forks will not fully compress, too little and you won’t have damping for the whole travel. Lightly grease the top cap threads on the mission control and unit into the stanchion. Hand thread the top cap and then tighten until its just past snug. Reinstall the knobs in the reverse order as before, lightly doing up the grub screws to secure the HSC knob. Pop the LSC knob on and reinstall the bolt with a 4mm hex. Fully slide the stanchions in lowers and thread the rebound rod and spring shaft bolt into their respective sides. Tighten with the 24mm spanner and 5mm hex. Place the two adjuster dials onto the rebound side and slide the C-clip back into place. Reinstall your brakes and wheel and take it for a ride to check everything works! Live action action from Ride It Out's Instagram feed A new law means you’re a criminal. A new law means you’re a criminal. After undoing the bottom of the boxxers and releasing the lowers from the stanchions hardley any oil came out.I had containers under each leg to capture the oil. Running SWEEEEET now.Ive been riding today and what a difference a TOTALLY different ride.All the info on how to do this is available on there website and takes maybe 40 mins the 1st time you do it and is really easy if you have all the instructions printed in front of you. The factory doesn't lube the lowers enough. When you buy a new Boxxer make sure the first thing you do before riding it is pulling the lowers off and putting the right amount of oil in the lowers. Also grease the seals and bushings. The WC spring side is a closed since its Solo Air hence why less oil. http://eco-region31.ru/02-mitsubishi-eclipse-owners-manual

The Team and Race Spring assembly has an opening allowing oil to seep into the spring side. A lot of the oil will be absorbed by the grease on the spring thats why Rock shox recommends 40cc's Pink Bike should Sticky this Put this mix, in the prescribed amount, in the lowers, slick honey in the seals, and it will be money. I also put finish line stanchion lube on mine, and now it rides better (in the parking lot) than my old one I rode a full season, and it still hasn't hit a trail. It will only get smoother once its broken in! Put this mix, in the prescribed amount, in the lowers, slick honey in the seals, and it will be money. It will only get smoother once its broken in. I seen this in a tech tip in mountain bike action.does it work.my 2010's will be here tomarrow. I'm going to do a few more rides then change the oil, and re-lube the seals. Should be money for a while then. Can you instead do it like they do with the single crown, that is just take the lowers off and leave the sanctions in the crowns, would be a much easier way of doin it id have thought. Cheers Here are Youtube video's to help show you how its done.WOW! They are sooooo much more plush. You notice most over small bumps where before they just wouldn't move and now they react to everything. If they are supposed to get better once they start getting bedded in then I cant wait. The actual job was pretty easy to be honest. Took about 30 mins. Putting the sanctions back in the seals was pretty simple as well which is nice. Just have to do as the video's say. So id 150 recommend this! New DJ bikes. The new forks feel amazing, incredibly supple as they enter their travel, very very smooth as the fork rides through its mid stroke and then real bottom feel as the fork ramps up as it reaches its maximum travel. Everything you love about the ride feeling of a Pike only more exaggerated on a bigger travel fork. http://garrisonjazz.com/images/boxx-transmitter-manual.pdf

One of the coolest things about Rock Shox bringing this technology to their BoXXer range for 2015 is that they also brought out an aftermarket Charger Damper upgrade kit. What’s more, installing the cartridge is a relatively straight forward process and something that you can certainly achieve at home with modest mechanical knowledge and the right tools. Below is our step-by-step guide to installation, including a few little tips and tricks to help with the job along the way. You’re welcome! The Steps: Before you get started it’s a good idea to make sure that your work area is clean and clutter free, then go the extra mile by neatly laying out all the individual pieces that come inside the Charger Damper upgrade kit box. There are lots of little parts in there and by laying them out before you get started it’ll make each step easier to understand, as well as ensure that you don’t put your forks back together and then realize that you’ve left out installing a bolt, washer or nob. Step 1: To remove your BoXXer’s existing dampener cartridge and drive side stanchion (upper tube). There are also clips on YouTube that will step you through how to do this. There is no need to remove the air spring or non-drive side upper tube. Step 2: Insert the Charger Damper into the top of the upper tube using a 24mm socket to tighten the damper to 7.3 N. Step 3: Apply SRAM Butter (or any good bike specific grease) to the scraper in the lower seal head and install it onto the rebound shaft with the flat side of the lower seal head facing the upper tube. Push the lower seal head into the bottom of the upper tube. Install the retaining circlip into the groove. Check that the retaining ring is properly seated in the retaining ring groove by using the snap ring pliers to rotate the retaining ring and seal head back and forth a few times and then firmly pull down on the rebound shaft. (c) Tim Bardsley-Smith Step 4: Insert the casting plug onto the rebound shaft. http://www.rlktechniek.nl/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1627eddca2248b---brother-pt-2030-manual-1.pdf

Hold the shaft by hand so it does not spin. Use a 5mm hex wrench to thread the silver foot nut into the shaft until it stops, this will seat the casting plug on the shaft. Step 5: Apply the supplied Loctite to the outside of the casting plug. Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the inside surface of the bolt hole of the lower leg. (c) Tim Bardsley-Smith Step 6: Apply a liberal amount of SRAM Butter to the inner surfaces of the lower oil seals and dust wiper seals. Slide the lower leg onto the upper tube just enough to engage the upper bushing. Angle the syringe in the bolt hole so the fluid will only contact the inside of the lower leg. Try not to let fluid contact the Loctite, bolt hole or fill the rebound shaft. Then inject 10ml of RockShox 0w-30 suspension fluid into the lower leg. (c) Tim Bardsley-Smith Step 7: Thread the silver foot nut into the rebound shaft. Use a 5mm hex wrench to tighten the bolt to 7.3 Nm. Step 8: Install the rebound adjuster knob onto the silver foot nut. Hold the rebound adjuster knob in place and tighten the 2.5mm set screw to 1.1 Nm. Step 9: Install the low speed compression adjuster dial and retaining screw.

On the rebound side, beginning stroke rebound and ending stroke rebound control are really more velocity sensitive than position sensitive (but for the rebound stroke the two are very related: deep in the travel there is a lot of spring energy to dissipate, while on top of the travel there is much less and the stanchions doesn't move as fast). condosalebangkok.com/ckfinder/userfiles/files/construction-site-best-management-practices-manual-caltrans.pdf

Finally, bottom out control adds an elastomer to the spring to achieve some ramp up in spring rate at the bottom of the travel. I hope this helps.It's only wrong if you get caught.

WARNING The manufacturer uses this symbol throughout the manual to warn of possible injury or death. ! CAUTION This symbol is used to warn of possible equipment damage. When required, consult an authorized representative. ! CAUTION THROUGH-FLOOR DRILLING: Be cautious when drilling holes through the van floor. Many vans have critical components mounted directly below the van floor that could be damaged by a misplaced drill bit. (See Product Support Bulletins 92102, 94062 and 94063 at the end of the manual.) ! CAUTION ENGINE COOLING: Units employing internal combustion engines must not be enclosed within a van with doors and windows closed. Severe bodily injury may result. ! WARNING The machine cannot be run in the IDLE position for cleaning upholstery, carpet or floor extraction. This will void the warranty. HydraMaster Corporation Page 1-4 Boxxer 427. CAUTION ACID RINSE AGENTS: The increased demand for “clear water” rinsing results in the need for special care when using these acid based chemicals in your equipment. The negative side of these products is the corrosive effects the acid can have on metals, including swivels, pumps, heat exchangers, etc. http://plenar.hr/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1627eddf10cad6---brother-pt-2030-label-maker-manual.pdf

HydraMaster’s ClearWater Rinse has been formulated to protect vital components. HydraMaster will not warranty parts that have been damaged from using unprotected acid products that have obviously caused failures. ! CAUTION HARD WATER PROTECTION: Failure to take appropriate measures to prevent scale build up can result in system failure and loss of warranty on affected parts. Test the water in your immediate and surrounding areas with hard water test strips. Assume all water obtained from wells is hard. If you are operating in a “Hard Water Area” (3.5 grains or more per gallon), use a water softening system. ! CAUTION FREEZE PROTECTION: There is often little warning before a cold spell. Therefore, not protecting this equipment from freezing will result in costly downtime. Placing an electric heater in the truck or parking the truck indoors will help to insure against freezing, but should not be the primary method of freeze protection. ! CAUTION EXHAUST SYSTEM: Do not allow flammable material (i.e. oil, fuel, plastic or wood products) to come in contact with the exhaust system. ! WARNING HOT SURFACES: During the operation of this equipment, many surfaces on the machine will become very hot. When near the van for any reason care must be taken not to touch any hot surface, such as heater, engine, exhaust, etc. HydraMaster Corporation Boxxer 427 Page 1-5. WARNING HEARING PROTECTION: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends the use of hearing protection when a technician is exposed to an average of 85 decibels (this is an average of exposure over an 8 hour period). This equipment can produce 85 decibels to a distance of 10 feet. Please check with your local state agencies to see if OSHA standards apply to your application. ! WARNING NO SMOKING: It is unsafe to smoke in or around the vehicle. ! WARNING CARBON MONOXIDE: This unit generates toxic fumes. Position the vehicle so that the fumes will be directed away from the job site. www.concrete-mix-plant.com/d/files/construction-site-best-management-practice-bmp-field-manual-and-troubleshooting-guide.pdf

Do not park where exhaust fumes can enter a building through open doors, windows, air conditioning units or kitchen fans. ! WARNING TOXIC FUMES: Do not occupy the vehicle when the cleaning equipment is operating. Toxic fumes may accumulate inside a stationary vehicle. ! WARNING ENGINE EXHAUST: The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. ! WARNING PORTABLE GAS TANK: Never operate this machine with a portable gas can inside the truck. Doing so increases the risk of a fire or explosion. ! WARNING PORTABLE PROPANE TANK: Do not use a portable tank inside of the truck or van. It is dangerous and illegal in most states. HydraMaster Corporation Page 1-6 Boxxer 427. WARNING TRANSPORTATION OF FUEL CONTAINERS: Transportation in a vehicle of any vented fuel container that presently has or has ever contained a flammable liquid is strictly forbidden by HydraMaster Corporation and by federal and state regulation. ! CAUTION The use of some chemicals through your mobile carpet cleaning plant can seriously damage the internal plumbing, high-pressure pump, chemical pump and heat exchangers. These harmful chemicals include concentrated acid (see the pH chart at the end of this section), solvents (including d-Limonene), and some paint, oil and grease removers with a high concentration of solvents. HydraMaster Corporation Boxxer 427 Page 1-7 System Operation T he Boxxer heat exchanger system is a highly engineered cleaning plant designed by HydraMaster Corporation. The system utilizes a dynamic heating system comprised of two separate exhaust heat exchangers for capturing “free heat.” The water flow is as follows: Water is fed into the machine under tap pressure and it flows through the water conditioner to the water box. The solution is then picked up by the high pressure pump and pressurized to the desired level. The water then splits flow, as demanded by the technician. The majority of the water flows to the bypass valve assembly, then back to the water box. The water demanded by the technician flows from the water pump through the blower exhaust heat exchanger then through the engine exhaust heat exchanger and out to the cleaning tool. When the cleaning solution reaches a preset high temperature, it is released from the system and directed to the recovery tank. Then cool water enters the system to regulate the temperature. When equipped with an engine exhaust diverter, the diverter bypasses the heat from the exhaust heat exchanger and simultaneously releases water from the system and directs it to the recovery tank. As there is no guess work in the manufacture of these highly advanced cleaning plants, there must be none in preparing it to get the job done in the field. It is the purpose of this manual to help you properly understand, maintain and service your cleaning plant. Follow the directions carefully and you will be rewarded with years of profitable, trouble-free operation. It is imperative that no section be overlooked when preparing for operation of this equipment. In order to minimize such downtime, it is strongly recommended by the manufacturer that you purchase and keep in your truck the parts listed below. Parts Orders To expedite your parts needs, please call your sales representative. In most instances, he either stocks or has access to parts through a regional service center. If further assistance is needed, contact the factory and coordinate your needs. If this becomes necessary, always indicate the method of shipment you desire, i.e. UPS, Blue Label, Air Freight, Air Express, etc. HydraMaster Parts Dept. Phone. (425) 775-7276 HydraMaster Parts Dept. Reading of owner’s manual: It is the purchaser’s responsibility to read the unit operation manual and to familiarize himself with the information contained therein. Special attention should be paid to all Cautions and Warnings. The Sales Representative’s responsibilities are: ACCEPTANCE OF SHIPMENT: 1. If the unit shows any outward signs of damage, do not sign the delivery receipt until you have closely inspected the unit and noted any damage on the delivery receipt. 2. The salesman from whom you purchased your unit is responsible for super vising the correct installation of the unit in your vehicle and thoroughly training you in its operation, maintenance and precautions.Use of water softening systems. HydraMaster Corporation Page 1-14 Boxxer 427 Vehicle Preparation W hen selecting a truck, remember the preferable vehicle for a Boxxer 427 installation is a cargo van with a heavy-duty suspension package and a half ton capacity. If a fresh water tank is added, a three quarter ton or larger capacity van, with a 2,400 pound payload capacity, is required. TRUCK PREPARATION The manufacturer recommends the installation of a spray-on bed liner in the vehicle prior to installation of machine. ! CAUTION Be cautious when drilling any holes through the van floor. It is highly recommended to install roof vents in vehicles operated in hot weather locations. Roof vent positions are shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1 Roof Vent HydraMaster Corporation Boxxer 427 Page 1-15 PLACEMENT OF UNIT IN VEHICLE There are two recommended unit placements: SIDE DOOR: Most installations are side door. REAR DOOR: Although this location partly limits working access, it does direct the noise away from the cleaning site. Some cleaners in the colder areas prefer this location because it puts the weight over the rear wheels for better traction in ice and snow. Rear mounting requires the unit to be slid to the right side as far as possible. This not only provides adequate working space on the component side of the unit but also improves weight distribution inside the van (engine and component weight line up over drive shaft). Also, it is physically easier to load the unit into the rear door due to the height of the van bed. Figure 1-3 Recommended Placement HydraMaster Corporation Page 1-16 Boxxer 427 Machine Tie Down Cleats Secure the machine to the floor of the van with the four tie down cleats provided. This safety measure will ensure that the machine will not slide inside the van. See the following illustration for the correct installation. Figure 1-4 Installation Using Tie-down Cleats Ensure that the machine is well secured to the floor of the van with the hardware supplied. A sudden or crash stop will cause the machine to rocket forward. Protect yourself and the machine. SECURE IT! ! WARNING It is recommended by the manufacturer that the exhaust from the front of the machine be vented down under the truck to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the job site. Always park the truck so the exhaust is blowing away from the job site. The manufacturer also recommends the installation of aluminum vents in the truck roof to allow heat to escape. ! WARNING Never operate this machine with a portable gas can inside the truck. Doing so increases the risk of a fire or explosion. Mount a fire extinguisher just inside the rear or side door for emergencies. HydraMaster Corporation Boxxer 427 Page 1-17. WARNING Do not use a portable propane tank inside of the truck or van. It is dangerous and illegal in most states. ! WARNING Transportation in a vehicle of any vented fuel container that presently holds or has ever held a flammable liquid is strictly forbidden by HydraMaster Corporation and by federal and state regulation. ! WARNING The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. HydraMaster Corporation Page 1-18 Boxxer 427 High Altitude Operation Preparation T o have your machine run at it’s peak performance; you may have to make adjust ments depending on the elevation. Elevation plays a key role in how the machine will operate. The factory setting of the machine is set for elevations from 0—3,000 feet. Any time the machine is operated above 3,000 feet there are two areas on the machine the may need adjustment. The first area is the carburetor jet. The higher the elevation, the less air is provided to the fuel mixture. The jet sizes vary per engine and elevation. Consult HydraMaster to obtain proper jet size. The second area that may need adjustment is the heat control system. The heat control system is also optimized to 0-3,000 feet. At higher altitudes the boiling point of water is lowered. In turn, this can cause the water box to boil and the high pressure pump to cavitate. The heat control system settings will have to be adjusted to compensate for the elevation. These settings will vary according to elevation. Contact HydraMaster to obtain the recommended settings. HydraMaster Corporation Boxxer 427 Page 1-19 Local Water Precautions T he quality of water varies greatly. Many areas have an excess of minerals in the water which results in what is commonly called “hard water.” These minerals tend to adhere to the insides of heater coils and other parts of the machines causing damage and a loss of cleaning effectiveness. This influences the reliability and efficiency of equipment in direct proportion to the level of hardness. HARD WATER ADVISORY HydraMaster recognizes that any hard water deposits which might occur within the water system of our truckmounts is a serious problem. The precision technology of truckmount heat exchanger systems is intolerant of any foreign material. Hard water deposits will ultimately decrease the performance of the system and are expected to seriously lower the reliability of the machine. To validate a machine’s warranty, HydraMaster requires that all machines operating in designated ”Hard Water Areas” (3.5 grains or more per gallon) be fitted with a water softening system or a properly installed magnetic-type de-scaler must be used and maintained. Periodic de-scaling or acid-rinsing alone is not adequate in these areas. HydraMaster does not recommend any particular type or brand, however the relative effectiveness of some types of magnetic de-scalers or softeners may require additional periodic use of de-scaling agents. HydraMaster also recommends, in the strongest possible terms, that machines in all areas be fitted with a water softening system for improved operation and reliability. HydraMaster has included five hard water test strips with your machine. These can be used to test the water in your immediate and surrounding areas as they can vary greatly. Assume all water obtained from wells is hard. ! CAUTION Failure to take appropriate measures to prevent scale build up can result in system failure and loss of warranty on affected parts. HydraMaster Corporation Page 1-20 Boxxer 427 HARD WATER AREA MAP The following map defines areas in the United States which compromise fluid related components such as hoses, fittings, heaters, pumps, valves and water cooled engines. For other countries, hard water area maps can be obtained from geological societies. WATER SOFTENER Cleaning efficiency and equipment life is increased, chemical use decreased, and the appearance of cleaned carpets enhanced when water softeners are incorporated in hard water areas. The manufacturer strongly urges the use of water softener units in areas exceeding 32 grains per gallon. Failure to use a water softener in these areas will invalidate the machine’s warranty. Using a hard water area map as a reference, determine the quality of water in your area and take action immediately, if necessary. Reports from several of our machine users commending the results of the use of water softeners in conjunction with their machines prompts us to recommend the procedure to everyone in a “hard water” area.
