3.2 Installing the brake system
Installing the brake system is a delicate and critical operation that
must be carried out by specialized personnel.

Brake system installation requires specialized
knowledge, tools and experience. General mechanical
aptitude may not be suf
fi
cient to properly install your
brake system. Please have your brake system installed
only by an authorized Marzocchi Service Center.
Improper installation of a disk brake system can overstress
the caliper mountings, which may cause the caliper
mountings to break, resulting in loss of control of the bicycle,
an accident, personal injury, or death. Be sure that the brake
system installation is also performed in strict compliance with
the instructions provided by the brake system manufacturer.
Use only brake systems that comply with the forks speci
fi
cations,
taking into consideration the contents of the summarizing tables
contained in this manual.

A special thread-lock treatment is applied to the thread on the
bolts (see 2A,2B in Table 2). Bolts that are installed and later
removed lose this thread-lock treatment, and therefore can
never be used again.

!
Make sure, before every ride, that the brake cable of the disk
brake system is correctly connected to the proper mounting
(see 2E, 2F, 2G & 2H in Table 2).

The brake cable must never touch the crown and stanchions.

Before installing a Post Mount braking system, check that the
protection
fi
lm has been removed from the brake caliper.

The fastening screw thread of the disk brake caliper must
be screwed by at least 10 mm on the brake support of the
fork monolith. Make sure that the fastening screws are
not damaged and that they are tightened with a torque
spanner according to the speci
fi
cations of the brake system
manufacturer. In any case tighten them by a max. tightening
torque of 10 Nm.
