system is also subject to wear over time. Please have your
bicycle regularly inspected by a qualifi ed mechanic for
any oil leaks, cracks, chips, deformation, or other signs of
fatigue (use of penetrating fl uid or other visual enhancers
to locate cracks is recommended). If the inspection reveals
any deformation, cracks, impact marks, stress marks or
bent parts, no matter how slight, immediately replace the
component; components that have experienced excessive
wear also need immediate replacement. The frequency
of inspection depends on many factors; check with your
Authorized Marzocchi Representative to select a schedule
that is best for you. If you weigh 82 kg/180 lbs or more, you
must be especially vigilant and have your bicycle inspected
more frequently (than someone weighing less than 82
kg/180 lbs.) for any evidence of cracks, leaks, deformation,
or other signs of fatigue or stress. Check with your mechanic
to discuss whether your forks are suitable for your use, and
to determine the frequency of inspections.
Be sure that the periodic maintenance schedule is strictly
followed.
Please be advised that if the maintenance and repair
procedures provided in this manual are not properly
performed, or the other instructions in this manual are not
followed, an accident could occur.
The symbol calls attention to the tasks which must be
performed with extreme care to avoid an accident.
Never make any modifi cations whatsoever to any component
of the suspension system.
The components of Marzocchi's suspension system
are designed as a single integrated system. To avoid
compromises in terms of safety, performance, durability
and function, and to prevent voiding of the warranty, do
not substitute Marzocchi components with components
manufactured by other companies.
Parts that have been bent or otherwise damaged in an
accident, or as a result of any other impact, must not be
re-straightened. They must be replaced immediately with
original Marzocchi parts.
When using a bicycle carrier (automobile roof rack or rear-
hitch mount), be sure to fully loosen the quick release
fastener on the carrier when mounting or removing your
bicycle. Additionally, be sure to always keep your bicycle in
a vertical position when mounting or removing your bicycle
to and from the bicycle carrier. Failure to fully loosen the
quick release fastener, or any bending action while mounting
or removing your bicycle to and from the carrier, could
result in scratching, bending, or otherwise damaging your
suspension system.
Damage to your forks can occur if your bicycle strikes, at
any speed, any overhead object, such as a parking garage,
bridge, tree limb or other abutment, while attached to a
bicycle carrier. In the event of such occurrence, have your
forks inspected by an authorized Marzocchi Service Center
before you ride.
Never spray your bicycle with water under pressure.
Pressurized water, even from the nozzle of a small garden
hose, can pass under seals and enter your Marzocchi forks,
thereby affecting its operation. Wash your bicycle and
Marzocchi forks by wiping them down with water and neutral
soap.
Always wear a properly fi tted and fastened bicycle helmet,
that has been approved by ANSI, SNELL or CE, and any
other safety equipment necessary for your riding style.
When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping
power of your brakes is greatly reduced and that the
adherence of the tires on the ground is considerably reduced.
This makes it harder to control and stop your bicycle. Extra
care is required when riding your bicycle in wet conditions to
avoid an accident.
Avoid biking at night because it is more diffi cult for you
to be seen by traffi c, and it is more diffi cult for you to see
obstructions on the ground. If you do ride at night, you
should equip your bicycle with and use a headlight and a
taillight. Wear clothes that are snug-fi tting and that make you
visible to traffi c, such as neon, fl uorescent, or other bright
colors.
