IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING !
Failure to comply with the given warnings and instructions may cause
damage to the product, injuries or even death to the rider.
► Be sure to read this manual carefully before using your suspension fork. Inappropriate
usage of your suspension fork may cause damage to the product, serious injuries or even
death to the rider.
►
Suspension forks 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 cartridge, as stated above they contain fluids and
gases under high pressure. Opening any SR SUNTOUR cartrigde 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 fork and might cause failure to the fork. This could result into an
accident, injury or even death.
► SR Suntour suspension forks are designed for the usage by a single rider.
► This instruction sheet contains important information about the correct installation, service
and maintenance of your suspension fork. Nevertheless please be informed that special
knowledge and tools are essential to install, service and maintain SR SUNTOUR forks.
Common mechanical knowledge may not be sufficient to repair, service or maintain a
suspension fork. Therefore we strongly recommend getting your fork 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 fork according to your frame's built in height and your
personal riding style. Installing a fork which does not match the geometry of your frame
could result into a failure of the fork itself and will void the fork's warranty. Installing a
suspension fork will change the geometry and handling of your bike. Learn how to ride and
train your skills. 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 off 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.
►
Please note that SR SUNTOUR suspension forks do not come with the proper reflectors
for on road riding. If you intend to ride on public roads or bicycle lanes your dealer should
mount the required reflectors to your fork.
► Study all other owner's manuals provided with your bike and make yourself familiar with
the components mounted to your bike.
