Always wear a properly fitted and fastened
bicycle helmet, that has been approved by ANSI
, SNELL or CE, and any other safety equipment
necessary for your riding style.
When riding in wet conditions, remember that
the stopping power of your brakes is greatly
reduced and that the adherence of the tires on
the ground is considerably reduced. This makes
it harder to control and stop your bicycle. Extra
care is required when riding your bicycle in wet
conditions to avoid an accident.
Avoid biking at night because it is more difficult
for you to be seen by traffic, and it is more
difficult for you to see obstructions on the
ground. If you do ride at night, you should equip
your bicycle with and use a headlight and a
taillight.
Wear clothes that are snug-fitting and that make
you visible to traffic, such as neon, fluorescent,
or other bright colors.
B. BEFORE EVERY RIDE
DO NOT RIDE YOUR BICYCLE IF IT DOES
NOT PASS THIS PRE-RIDE TEST. CORRECT
ANY CONDITION BEFORE YOU RIDE.
Check your forks for any leaks or other evidence
of oil, which is indicative of a problem with your
forks. Be sure to turn your bicycle upside down
to check areas such as the underside of the
crown for evidence of an oil leak.
Be sure that all components of you forks, and
the remainder of your bicycle, including, but not
limited to, your brakes, pedals, handgrips,
handlebars, frame, and seating system, are in
optimum condition and suitable for use.
Be sure that none of the components of your
suspension system, or the remainder of your
bicycle, are bent, deformed, cracked, chipped,
out of aliment, or otherwise damaged.
Check to be sure that all quick release
fasteners, nuts and bolts are properly adjusted.
Bounce the bicycle on the ground while listening
and looking for anything that may be lose.
Be sure that your wheels are perfectly centered.
Spin the wheels to be sure that they do not
wobble up and down or from side to side, and
that they do not make contact with the fork legs
or brake pads while rotating.
Be sure that all cables and other components of
your braking system are in their proper position,
properly adjusted and that your braking system
is functioning properly.
Be sure that your tires are inflated to the correct
pressure and that there is no damage
whatsoever in the tread or sidewall of the tire.
Check all reflectors to make sure that they are
clean, straight, and securely mounted.
Be sure to read and follow all the instructions
and warnings that originally accompanied your
bicycle.
Learn and follow the local bicycle laws and
regulations, and obey all traffic signals, signs
and laws while you ride.
II. INTENDED USE INSTRUCTIONS
A. SELECT THE CORRECT FORK FOR
YOUR RIDING STYLE
Marzocchi suspension forks are among the
most durable and technologically advanced
forks on the market today. However, no fork can
withstand misuse, abuse or improper use that,
over a short period of time, can cause your forks
to fail when you least expect it.
It is critical that you select and use the fork that
is appropriate for your riding style, and that you
use the fork properly.
WARNING!
Failure to properly match the forks to your
frame could cause the forks to fail, resulting
in a loss of control of the bicycle, and
possible serious injury or death to the rider.
In addition, improperly matching your forks
to your frame will void the forks’ warranty.
