Operation Manual

60
1. The correct air pressure for your total weight can be found either on the imprint on your fork, the en-
closed user information or by contacting your dealer.
2. Screw the head of the suspension fork pump on to the connection of your suspension fork. Position of
the connection: See the user information of the suspension fork manufacturer.
3. Continue pumping until you have reached the prescribed air pressure.
4. Unscrew the pump head.
NOTE:
Unscrew the pump head quickly in order to keep the amount of air escaping (which can be heard as
hissing) as small as possible.
8.2.1.2 Switching the suspension on and off
NOTE:
Various bikes have the possibility of almost completely blocking the suspension of the fork by means of a
lever on the handlebars. The fork can then only move in and out to a small extent.
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
At a high speed, particularly when riding downhill on unpaved terrain, riding behaviour with the sus-
pension switched off is very poor. The front wheel may lose contact with the ground.
You should switch on the suspension fork before riding your bike fast (downhill).
1. Switching off the suspension:
Press lever A until it locks in place.
2. Switching on the suspension:
Press lever B until lever A jumps back to the starting position.
NOTE:
Depending on the fork manufacturer, operation of the lever for turning off the lever may deviate from the
above description.
If your suspension fork has a different type of handlebar lever or a lever directly on the fork itself for block-
ing the suspension, please refer to the enclosed user information for how to operate it or ask your specialist
dealer. He or she will be pleased to advise you.
