Every 5 hours of use in competitions loosen the vent screws (1) by a
few turns, so allowing the release of any air-pressure from inside the
fork. Instead of a screw, Marzocchi fork features a tyre valve (3), which is
protected by a rubber bulb (4). Remove the rubber bulb and press
gently the valve stem.
Before operating on the screws or on the valve, lift the motorcycle onto
the stand in a way that the front wheel does not touch the ground. If the
motorcycle is used mainly on roads, it is sufficient only to carry out this
operation during periodical maintenance.
WARNING
VERY HIGH PRESSURE INSIDE THE FORK CAN CAUSE THE FORK TO LEAK. IF
YOUR FORK PRESENTS A LEAK, LOOSEN THE VENT SCREWS BEFORE HAVING
THE SEALING ELEMENTS REPLACED.

The dust scraper (2) must scrape the dust and dirt from the fork rods.
However, after some time, dirt may also reach behind the dust scrapers.
If the dirt is not removed, the oil seal units, which are found behind,
may leak.
Use a screwdriver to lever the dust scraper from the outside legs and
push it downwards.
Clean the dust scraper, the outside legs and the rods carefully. Oil
them well with silicone spray or with engine oil. Finally, push the dust
scraper manually into the outside legs.
