MARZOCCHI reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make changes to the products, at any time and without prior notice. · Work in a clean, ordered and well-lit place; if possible, avoid servicing your fork outdoors. · Polished surfaces need to be periodically treated with some "polishing compound" to be kept as bright as new. · Carefully check there are no metal shavings or dust in the work area. · Never modify in any way any component of your fork. 114 MZ024 English 4 Maintenance 4. 3 Cleaning the fork legs The manufacturer lubricates the fork dust seal with some grease, which makes the stanchion tubes slide easier, especially when the fork has not been used for a long time. When using the fork, such grease can melt and stick to the stanchions, looking like an oil leak, although it is not. After every use carefully clean the fork's outside surfaces, with a special attention to stanchion tubes and dust seals. Mud and dust may cause serious damages to the suspension system if not immediately removed. 4. 4 Monster T air bleeding Picture 12 This operation must be carried out with the fork assembled on the bicycle and with the fork's legs fully extended (front wheel off the ground) The pressure generated by the air that can get into the fork legs while the bike is being used and which, due to the special shape of the oil seals remains trapped inside, can cause the fork to malfunction. · In case of malfunction or loss of legs' smoothness please carry out following operation on both legs: · By means of a 2 mm Allen key, unscrew the air bleed screw (A) located on the cap, in order to drain the pressure generated inside the fork's leg. · Tighten the air bleed screw (A) to the recommended torque (2±0, 5 Nm), being careful not to damage the oil seal (B).

In this paragraph you will find how to carry out a correct setting of Marzocchi forks. In order to find the best setting you will need to try several times to understand where and how to intervene. The best setting depends on the mountain bike frame geometry, the rider's weight, the trail and obstacles kind, but also on many other personal factors connected with the riding style; it is therefore not possible to provide you with objective information concerning the desired setting. However, if you carefully follow the instruction here below, you may find the best setting in a short time.
