Sample Fork Cleaning

Sample Fork Cleaning

**Please follow the Sample Fork Replacement Procedure to remove the sample fork.**

Once the sample fork has been removed you may flush out the sample fork using squirt bottles.  As a general rule, flush it first with a steady stream of IPA for at least 10 seconds, and then follow that with DI water for 10 seconds.  If you have a source of gas to dry the water out of the fork, you may use that, if not it will need to be air dried.  After the fork has dried, please reference the same Sample Fork Replacement Procedure to reinstall the fork.  Once the fork has beein re-installed and the adjustments made according to the referenced procedure you will want to run a leak check and if the leak check passes, run several purges.
