FOX products should be installed by a professional bicycle service
technician, in accordance with FOX installation specifications.
Improperly installed shocks can fail, causing the rider to lose control
resulting in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
The Live Valve system will come installed from the factory. However,
the battery must be charged and the system must be calibrated before
the first use. Improper calibration and/or set up may cause the system
to function improperly or unexpectedly, which could cause a loss of
control and lead to SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT discard the controller's protective cover. This protective
cover is critical for protecting the main controller when the battery is
not connected (for example, during charging off the bike). The main
controller can sustain damage through exposure to elements such as
water and debris and must be covered.
DO NOT discard the battery's rubber protective cover. This protective
cover is critical battery to protect the battery while it is in storage or
being transported away from the controller.
WARNING: Modification or alteration of your frame in a way that
affects the rear shock may cause product failure resulting in SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH. Never modify, or alter ANY part of your OEM
frame components that actuate the rear shock (including yokes, strut
mounting components, or rocker links).
WARNING: Use of aftermarket frame parts that affect the rear shock
(not tested and approved by the OE frame manufacturer) may cause
the product to malfunction, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Modification or alteration of a FOX product can cause product failure
resulting in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. Never modify or alter ANY part
of a FOX product (including coil springs, lower leg cross brace, crown,
steerer, upper tubes, lower leg, air can, seat post, air volume spacers,
internals, axle slit shims, axle adapters, or any other parts).
FOX bicycle suspension products may also be used on pedal-assisted
motorized cycles or motorized vehicles that produce up to 250 watts
of power. DO NOT use FOX Bicycle suspension products on vehicles
that produce more than 250 watts of power.
FOX E-BIKE OPTIMIZED suspension products may be used on
motorized cycles or motorized vehicles producing between 250-500
watts of power. DO NOT use any FOX bicycle suspension product on
any pedal-assisted motorized cycle or motorized vehicle that produces
more than 500 watts of power.
DO NOT use any FOX bicycle suspension products or FOX E-BIKE
OPTIMIZED suspension products on any pedal-assisted motorized
cycle or motorized vehicle that produces more than 500 watts of
power. DO NOT use any FOX bicycle suspension product on any
throttle-equipped motorized vehicle.
Misuse of FOX suspension products may cause the suspension to fail,
resulting in property damage or SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, and void
the warranty.
DO NOT use FOX bicycle suspension products on any vehicle carrying
more than one operator or rider, such as a tandem bicycle or heavy
utility bicycle.
Improper service, or use of non-FOX replacement parts with FOX
shocks may cause the product to malfunction, resulting in SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH.
Never use a power washer to clean your FOX product.
Follow your brake manufacturer's installation instructions for proper
installation and adjustment of the brake 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 shock may fail under conditions that cause bending and/or
breaking to any part of the 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 shock to fail. A damaged and/or leaking shock can fail,
resulting in a crash and SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. If you suspect your
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.
