system. Failure to properly install and adjust your brakes
can lead to a loss of control of the bicycle, which can
result in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Your fork or shock may fail under conditions that cause
bending and/or breaking to any part of the fork or shock.
Any condition that causes a loss of air and/or oil, such as
a collision or extended periods of non-use, may also cause
your fork or shock to fail. A damaged and/or leaking fork
or shock can fail, resulting in a crash and SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH. If you suspect your fork or shock has been
damaged, stop riding immediately and contact FOX for
inspection and repair.
Never attempt to pull apart, open, disassemble, or service
a FOX shock that is in a "stuck down" condition. A "stuck
down" condition results from a failure of the dynamic
air seal (located between the positive and negative
air chambers within the non-EVOL shock air sleeve),
resulting with the negative chamber retaining a higher
pressure than the positive chamber. To test whether the
shock is in fact "stuck down":
• Remove the air cap and depress the Schrader
valve, to completely release air pressure from the
positive chamber of the shock.
• If the shock body retracts into the air sleeve near
bottom-out after the air is released from the
positive chamber, attach a FOX high-pressure
pump and pressurize the shock to 250 psi (17 bar).
• If the shock does not fully extend, it is in a "stuck
down" condition.
• Any attempt to service FOX air shocks in the
"stuck down" condition can lead to SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH. Contact FOX or an Authorized
Service Center for repair.
Do not remove the red spacer limiter found within certain
FLOAT X2 shocks and under no circumstances use more
than the FOX Factory specified maximum quantity of
volume spacers for your shock absorber.
