special tools only.
2. On reassembling the suspension system,
always use new seals.
3. Clean all metal parts with a special,
preferably biodegradable solvent, such
as trichloroethane or trichloroethylene.
4. Before reassembling, lubricate all parts
in contact with each other using silicone
fat spray or a specific oil for seals.
5. Always grease the lip seal rings before
reassembling.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
MAINTENANCE
M
ARZOCCHI
forks are based on advanced
technology, supported by year-long experi-
ence in the field of professional mountain
biking. In order to achieve best results, we
recommend to check and clean the area
below the dust seal and the stanchion tube
after each use and lubricate with silicone
oil.
In general, M
ARZOCCHI
forks can offer top
performance from the start. However, in
some cases a short running-in period is
required (5-10 hours) for inner adjustments.
This running-in period will make fork life
longer and ensure fork top performance
over time.
IMPORTANT: change oil at least every
100 working hours.
Polished forks should be cleaned with
bodywork polish at regular intervals in
order to preserve their original finish.
INSTALLATION
Installing the fork on a bicycle is a very
delicate operation that should be carried
out with extreme care. The installation should
always be checked by one of our Technical
Service Centers.
WARNING: Steer tube/headset
mounting and adjustment must be
carried out in compliance with the headset
manufacturer’s instructions. Improper in-
stallation may jeopardize the safety of the
rider.
To replace it, contact one of our Technical
Service Centers with the required tools.
WARNING: In case of improper
installation of the steer tube into the
crown, the rider might lose control of his/
her bicycle, thus jeopardizing his/her safety.
DISC BRAKE SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
WARNING: If a disc brake system
is installed, it is possible to replace
original brake supports fixing pins with
screws (part no. 532979QF) available as
spare parts.
Tighten the above screws to 10 Nm.
Assembling the brake caliper onto the slider
is a very delicate operation that should be
carried out with extreme care.
Improper assembly might overstress the
caliper supports which might break.
When installing the disc brake system, be
sure to properly follow the instructions given
by the manufacturer.

REBOUND ADJUSTMENT
(only left leg)
Each fork leg is equipped with an adjuster
screw (C) for REBOUND damping at slider
bottom.
To adjust, always start from the minimum
damping setting, i.e. with the screw fully
turned counterclockwise. Each adjusting
position can be identified by a click.
IMPORTANT: do not force the adjuster
knob (C) over its limit.
ADJUSTMENT
SPRING PRELOAD
Spring preload determines COMPRESSION
damping and is adjusted by turning the
adjustment knob (3) on the top of the fork
legs. From the factory the fork is set at
minimum preload, i.e. the adjustment knob
completely unscrewed counterclockwise.
However, springs are slightly preloaded to
counteract static loads. By turning the ad-
justment knob clockwise, the preload is
increased up to the maximum value equal
to 15 mm spring preload. This adjustment is
essential in order to have the right fork
response for the rider’s weight and riding
style.
