PAGE 10 IMPORTANT CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: RIDING A BIKE IS DANGEROUS. NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINING OR INSPECTING YOUR BIKE AND IT'S COMPONENTS IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. [. . . ] Compression adjustment (lockout) is done by turning the knob on the top of the right leg and is a lockout when turned full clockwise. WARNING: The lockout is designed to be used for climbing only. DO NOT lockout the fork for descending, jumping or drop-offs. Turning the knob counter-clockwise from lockout will provide less and less compression damping. Less compression damping will increase the fork dive but will feel smoother over small bumps. More compression damping will feel stiffer over small bumps but will be more resistant to bottoming. The compression / lockout knob has ¾ of a turn of adjustment. If more damping range is needed, contact White Brothers. Rebound adjustment is done by turning the adjuster on the bottom of the right leg. Turn the knob clockwise for slower rebound. To speed up rebound, turn the knob counterclockwise. Start with a middle setting and fine tune the rebound from there. Proper rebound will allow the tire to track the ground over consecutive bumps. Rebound set too slow will cause the fork to pack-up (feel stiff over consecutive bumps) while rebound set too fast will cause the fork to top out. Adjustment range is 6 turns. Rebound Adjuster Figure #4 PAGE 4 MAINTENANCE Your White Brothers fork requires periodic maintenance to ensure peak performance and long life. Neglecting proper maintenance will reduce the fork's life. Internal build up of water and dirt or a lack of lubrication will cause excessive wear and void the warranty. BEFORE EVERY RIDE: Visually inspect your fork for bent or broken parts, loss of oil, abnormal sounds or other indications of possible fork failure. Compress you fork to verify proper function. Check all other bicycle components to ensure proper working order. AFTER EVERY RIDE: Clean and dry the exterior of your fork. When cleaning the fork, do not direct the water spray at the seals. [. . . ] Remove air pressure as outlined in the tuning section. Reduce the compression damping by turning the adjuster on the top of the right leg counter clock-wise. Lockout and/or Damping Adjustment is Not Working 1. Contact White Brothers for technical information.
