[. . . ] General warnings for owners manual 8 WARNING Failure to follow these instructions could result in failure of the product, an accident, personal injury or death. Please have your bicycle regularly inspected by a qualified mechanic for any oil leaks, cracks, deformation, or other signs of fatigue. The frequency of inspection depends on many factors; check with your authorized Marzocchi representative to select a schedule that is best for you. If the inspection reveals any deformation, cracks, impact marks, stress marks or bent parts, no matter how slight, immediately have a Certified Marzocchi Repair Center inspect the forks before you ride again. [. . . ] Pumping rods are fully plunged in oil (Open Bath System). The Open Bath System provides proper lubrication and cooling of the inner sliding parts; furthermore, the oil volume works as a damping and setting element. The Open Bath system reduces the maintenance frequency compared to a sealed cartridge system. On the models using MCU elastomers a correct inside lubrication is made by means of grease. Stanchion tubes are guided in the sliders-arch monolith by two teflon-coated bushings, free from static friction. The seal system prevents oil or grease leaks and contamination from particles entering the fork. It uses a special dual-lip oil seal and a dust seal at the top of each slider. ECC: the Extension Control Cartridge offers "onthe-fly" adjustment of the rebound damping. SSV: the Speed Sensitive Valve (SSV) uses 5 valve circuits to control damping rates based on the fork's compression and rebound speed as well as the fork's position in the travel.

The fender can be provided with the fork or purchased separately. When assembling the fender (A) you must insert the small support bushing (B) between the screw and the fender as shown in the picture, and tighten the screws (C) with a 8 mm Allen wrench to the required torque (see Table - Tightening Torques). 3. 1 Installing on the frame The fork is supplied with "A-Head Set" (threadless) steer tube to be cut according to frame size it will be used on. Installing the fork on the bicycle frame is a very delicate operation that must be carried out by specialized personnel. ATTENTION IThe assembling on the frame and the steer tube adjustment must be carried out in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions. Improper installation may jeopardize the safety of the rider. Marzocchi does not guarantee the installation and refuses all responsibility for damages and/or accidents that may be caused by an incorrect installation. The steer tube must be pressed into the crown; its replacement must be carried out by one of our service centers only, using the required tools. ATTENTION In case of improper installation of the steer tube into the crown, the rider might lose control of his/her bicycle, thus jeopardizing his/her safety. ATTENTION In the DropOff Triple model, the steering crown is fixed with screws to the stanchion tubes. During installing, you will have to verify that, keeping the fork's legs fully compressed at bottom end, the distance between the tire (inflated) and the lower part of the lower crown must be bigger than 4 mm. Additionally, the maximum length of the steering tube between the two crowns shall be less than 184 mm. 8 mm 86 MZ009054 MZ010_1 English A 3 B C Installation 3. 3 Installing the brake system Installing the brake system is a very delicate operation that must be carried out by specialized personnel. ATTENTION Marzocchi does not guarantee the assembly and refuses all responsibility for damages and/or accidents that may be caused by an incorrect assembly. Improper installation of the disk brake system can overstress the caliper mountings, which may break. The brake system assembling must be carried out in compliance with the brake system's manufacturers instructions.
