OWNER'S INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Installing a Marzocchi suspension system is a very delicate operation that must be
carried out with extreme care. These installation and maintenance instructions are
designed for experienced bicycle mechanics and must be followed exactly as written and
specified. Failure to precisely follow these instructions could cause damage to one or
more components of the Marzocchi suspension system. This damage may not be readily
visible or apparent and could lead to unexpected failure on one or more components of
your suspension to such extent that the rider may loose control of the bicycle and suffer
severe injury.
The responsibility of the owner
1) The Marzocchi suspension system is designed to absorb the shocks of an uneven road surface in
order to give the rider more control over this bicycle. It is not designed to absorb the forces generated
by jumps or other acrobatic maneuvers. If you subject the Marzocchi suspension system to repeated
jumps or other acrobatic maneuvers, you could cause one or more of the components of the
suspension system to unexpectedly break, resulting in a loss of bicycle control and serious injury to
the rider.
2) Some of the parts of the bicycle, such as the brakes, steering, tires, wheel assembly and shifters may
not have been adjusted at the time the Marzocchi suspension system was installed on the bicycle.
Before you ride the bicycle, be sure all the parts of the bicycle were properly adjusted and functioning
properly.
3) All of the components of the suspension system must be correctly assembled and tightened exactly
to the specified torque values. Periodically check the torque of these components to insure that they
are correct. Failure to properly assemble and tighten the components could cause one or more of the
components to unexpectedly break, resulting in a loss of bicycle control and serious injury to the rider.
4) There are obvious risks associated with mountain biking and other types of bicycle riding. Despite the
use of all safety equipment for the bicycle and the rider, either injuries or damages may occur. This
is the responsibility of the rider. To reduce the risk of injury, all activities must be under proper
supervision and only after proper training and experience. Good physical condition of the rider and
the good state of the bicycle are essential to be a safe and successful rider.
5) Be sure to read and follow all the instructions and warnings which originally accompanied your bicycle.
In addition, it is recommended for added safety and protection while riding that a good quality bicycle
helmet be worn and that other safety devices such as lights, reflectors, or reflective clothing be used.
Some cities and states may require the use of a helmet and other safety equipment. Follow all traffic
rules and all other laws about safety equipment and use your bicycle where you are permitted to ride.
