3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Installing on the frame

ARNING
Suspension system installation requires specialized knowledge, tools
and experience. General mechanical aptitude may not be suffi cient to
properly install your suspension system. Please have your suspension
system installed only by an authorized Marzocchi Suspension Center.
Improper installation can result in failure of your Marzocchi Suspension
System, an accident, personal injury, or death.
The shock absorber should be installed according to the specifi cations of
the manufacturer of the frame, making sure the Marzocchi shock absorber
is compatible with the frame (travel, wheelbase and external dimensions).
Consult the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the frame for
the corresponding travel between the shock absorber and the wheel, as
this depends on the geometry of the rear mount of the mountain bike and
the pivot point used to fi x the shock absorber to the compound lever of
the rear suspension. Before fi tting the shock absorber on the frame, the
installer should check that it won't come into contact with parts of the
mountain bike when it's damping the movement of the wheel.
Check that the saddle-pillar, in its lowest position, doesn't interfere with
the movements of the shock absorber over its entire working range and
repeat this check after replacing any of the parts in question.

The frame must be the assembled following the manufacturer's
instructions. Incorrect assembly can be dangerous for the rider.
Tenneco Marzocchi S.r.l. does not guarantee the installation work
and declines any responsibility for damage and/or accidents that
may be caused by incorrect installation. Check that the mounts of
the shock absorber on the frame are perfectly aligned, if this is not
the case anomalous wear and oil leaks may occur.
