INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL RULES
1. Where specified, assemble and disas-
semble the suspension system using the
M
ARZOCCHI
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 specific seal oil.
5. Always grease the conic seal rings be-
fore reassembling.
6. Use wrenches with metric size only.
Wrenches with inch size might damage
the fastening devices even when their
size is similar to that of the wrenches in
metric size.

Oil leaking through wheel shaft pinch bolt O-ring seal on the cartridge nut is
damaged
Replace the O-ring seal
Oil leaking through the dust seal. 1. Oil seal is worn out
2. Stanchion tube is scored
3. Excessive dirt on slider oil seal
1. Replace oil seal
2. Replace oil seal and stanchion tube/
wheel shaft pinch bolt assembly
3. Clean the oil seal seat and replace oil
seal and dust seal
Fork has not been used for some time
and is locked out

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
Assembling the brake caliper onto the wheel
shaft pinch bolt 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.

FITTING WHEEL
• Insert the complete wheel assembly be-
tween the legs and fit the wheel shaft
(32A) into the wheel shaft pinch bolt
from the right hand side; push down until
it stops against the wheel hub.
• Tighten the wheel shaft screw (32B)
onto the LH to the specified torque.
• Compress the fork several times so the
legs will become properly seated onto
wheel shaft. Lock the screws (29) in the
wheel shaft pinch bolts to the specified
torque.

DISASSEMBLY
GENERAL
– The reference numbers given in this section relate to the components shown in the forks exploded view.
– Before starting any operation, please read the diagram below. It shows the quickest procedure and the exact sequence in which it should
be disassembled. Locate the part you need to remove in the diagram, then look at the arrows to determine which other parts you will
need to remove first.

ADJUSTMENTS
SPRING PRELOAD
The spring preload determines COMPRES-
SION damping and can be adjusted by
turning the knob (19) on top of the fork
legs. From the factory the fork is set at
minimum preload, i.e. the adjustment knob
completely unscrewed counterclockwise.
However, the springs are slightly preloaded
to help counteract static loads. By turning
the adjustment knob clockwise, the preload
is increased up to the maximum value equal
to 15 mm’s of spring preload. This adjust-
ment is essential in order to have the right
fork response for the rider’s weight and
riding style.
REBOUND ADJUSTMENT
(only right leg)
The right fork leg is equipped with an
adjuster screw (9) for REBOUND damp-
ing. Turning this adjuster clockwise into the
cartridge rod, changes the hydraulic set-
ting of the inner valves. In short, the amount
of adjustment applied on the piston in the
fluid determines the rate of damping.
To adjust, always start from the minimum
damping setting, i.e. unscrew completely
counterclockwise. About 8 turns - abt. 4 mm
of the adjustment - are possible.
REBOUND LIMITER
(only left leg)
In case of hard uphill path, fork leg rebound
can be locked for improved behavior.
Position the knob (35) on l.h. fork leg top
to “LOCK” to lock rebound limit in this
position; this also allows to decrease fork
leg height for optimal attitude uphill, thus
supporting suspension compression opera-
tion.
Reposition the knob to its original position
so that the fork will rebound and restart to
work as before.
WARNING: do not position to
“LOCK” when riding downhill as
available travel might not be enough, thus
jeopardizing rider’s safety
