3.2 Adjusting hydraulic compression
Lever (
11
) is used to gradually adjust hydraulic compres-
sion.
- Lever (
25
) can be used to open or close the fastener.
- Adjuster (
30
) is to adjust the lock out threshold when it’s
in the closed setting.
WARNING:
NEVER use lever (25) in the closed position when riding downhill
since the hydraulic suspension will not work in the proper way in case of obsta-
cles and this may lead to loss of control of the bike and to serious accidents or death.
3.3 Adjusting the air pressure
- Use a high pressure pneumatic shock pump (
12
) to
change the pressure in the THIRTYTREE.
- Remove the valve cap (
13
).
- Connect the end (
14
) of the pump to fork valve (
15
) so
that pressure gauge (
16
) will read the pressure.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the pump (14)
as the seal will be damaged.
WARNING: The maximum allowable pres-
sure is 125psi.
- If there is no pressure in the fork, the pressure gauge
(
16
) will not read a value.
- Compress the pump (
12
) a few times to increase the
pressure. The pressure should increase slowly.
- If the pressure rapidly increases, make sure the pump is
properly connected to the valve (
15
).
- The pressure can be reduced by pressing the black relief
valve (
17
) on the pump (
12
).
- Press the relief valve halfway to steadily release pressure.
- Press the relief valve completely down to relieve small amounts of pressure (slight adjustment).
- Detach the pump (
12
) by unscrewing (
14
).
- Install the valve cap (
13
).
