MAINTENANCE
Your fork requires periodic maintenance, cleaning, and inspection. Torque values
of bolts and fasteners must be checked periodically, more often if riding in extreme
conditions. To maintain top performance, it is recommended that the fork be
periodically disassembled, cleaned, dried and re-lubricated. After every ride wipe
down the inner legs and the seal area to extend the life of the seal. We highly
recommend that service to your fork be completed by a qualified bicycle
mechanic. You can download service and tuning instructions on the web at
www.manitoumtb.com.
