Failure to comply with the given warnings and instructions may

►
Be sure to read this manual carefully before using your rear shock. Inappropriate usage
of your rear shock may cause damage to the product, serious injuries or even death to
the rider.

Our rear shocks contain fluids and gases under extreme pressure, warnings included in
this manual must be followed in order to reduce the possibility of injuries or possible
death. Never try to open any SR SUNTOUR rear shock! As stated above they contain
fluids and gases under high pressure. Opening any SR SUNTOUR rear shock implies the
risk of getting seriously injured.
►
Only use genuine SR SUNTOUR parts. The use of aftermarket replacement and spare
parts voids the warranty of your rear shock and might cause failure to it. This could
result into an accident, injury or even death.
►
SR Suntour rear shocks are designed for the usage by a single rider.
► This instruction sheet contains important information about the correct installation,
service and maintenance of your rear shock. Nevertheless please be informed that
special knowledge and tools are essential to install, service and maintain SR SUNTOUR
shocks. Common mechanical knowledge may not be sufficient to repair, service or
maintain a rear shock. Therefore we strongly recommend getting your rear shock
installed, serviced and/or maintained by a trained and qualified bicycle mechanic.
Improper installation, service or maintenance can result in failure of the product,
accident, injury or even death.
►
Always be equipped with proper safety gear. This includes a properly fitted and fastened
helmet. According to your riding style you should use additional safety protection.
Make sure your equipment is in flawless condition.
►
Make sure to select the correct rear shock according to your frame's built in height and
your personal riding style. Installing a rear shock which does not match the geometry
of your frame could result into a failure of the rear shock itself and will void the shocks
warranty. Know your limits and never ride beyond those.
►
When using a bike carrier please always fully release the quick release fastener. Not
properly unfastened quick releases may result into bending, breaking or other structural
damage while removing your bike of the bike carrier. If your bike fell off the carrier
please do not ride it, until it has been inspected by a qualified bike mechanic. When
using a bike carrier which just secures the bike by clamping the forks dropouts, make
sure to fasten your rear wheel as well. A not accurate fastened rear wheel could allow
the bike to jiggle which might result into a breakage of the dropouts.
► Study all other owner's manuals provided with your bike and make yourself familiar
with the components mounted to your bike.
