components specifi cally designed for this riding style. The
disk brakes must be attached to the designated mounting
points provided on the fork. Never make any modifi cation to
your fork when attaching other equipment.

II.I.II Choice of the fork most indicated for personal
style on the basis of the "Intended use chart"
Referring to the table called «intended use chart» (Table
1, page 2), select the fork that is appropriate for your
riding style. Please see your Marzocchi retailer, or contact
Marzocchi directly, if you require assistance in selecting the
correct fork.
II.I.III Ride Properly - Do Not Misuse or Abuse of Your
Forks
Never abuse or misuse your forks. Learn how to ride, and
always ride within your abilities. An out-of-control ride puts
the equivalent of years of hard use on your forks after only
a few rides. Learn how to properly fl ow around obstacles
on the trail. Hitting obstacles such as rocks, trees or holes
straight-on puts forces on your fork it was not designed to
absorb. Landing improperly after a jump or drop also puts
forces on your fork it was not designed to absorb. You should
only perform jumps or drops when a transition, or down
ramp, is available to help your bicycle absorb the impact
forces generated during the landing by having both wheels
smoothly make contact with the transition, or down ramp, at
the same time. Any other type of landing is dangerous, as
it could result in a component part failure and an accident.
The steepness and length of the transition, or down ramp
depends on the height from which you jump or drop. Every
situation is different for every rider, so consult with an
experienced rider before attempting any jump or drop.

Failure to properly fl ow around obstacles on the trail, or
failure to properly land after a jump or drop, could cause
your forks to fail, resulting in a loss of bicycle control,
serious injury, or death to the rider.

Your forks require regular maintenance and repair. The
harder you ride, the more often you must inspect and
perform maintenance on your forks. If your forks are
leaking, bent, deformed, cracked, or chipped, no matter
how slight, immediately have a Certifi ed Marzocchi
Repair Center inspect the forks before you ride again.

EMEMBER
Even forks made out of solid metal will fail if they are misused,
abused, or improperly used! Extreme use can eventually
wear out and break even the strongest components.
