3. After washing your bike, spray the stanchion tubes
of the suspension fork with a little grease spray
(a)
or apply a very thin film of hydraulic oil. Compress
the fork several times and wipe off excess lubricant
with a clean rag before you set off for your next ride.
Be sure to use the lubricant recommended by the
manufacturer.
4. Do not use a steam jet or aggressive cleaning agents
for cleaning! Ask your MERIDA dealer for an appro-
priate cleaning agent.
5. If your suspension fork has steel coils, you should
regularly have the coils cleaned and lubricated with
a non-corrosive resin-free grease
(b)
. Some fork
manufacturers supply special greases for fork main-
tenance. Strictly observe the recommendations of
the manufacturers. These are routines for the sus-
pension fork service center.
6. Suspension forks with pneumatic springs must be
checked regularly for air pressure
(c)
, since the air
escapes over time.

Suspension elements are of sophisticated de-
sign. The maintenance routines and above all
the disassembly of the suspension elements
are jobs best left to your MERIDA dealer or the fork
manufacturer’s service center.
A
Suspension forks are constantly being
sprayed with water and dirt from the front
wheel. Clean them with plenty of water after
every ride.
I
Be sure to have your suspension fork checked
by a service center of the fork manufacturer
once a year at least.
