Important Safety Information - Fox Racing Shox Float R Series Bedienungsanleitung



Important SafEty InformatIon

»
Verify that the brakes are installed and adjusted properly before riding your bicycle.
»
If your fork or shock loses oil, tops or bottoms out excessively or makes unusual noises, immediately stop
riding and contact FOX Racing Shox or an Authorized FOX Racing Shox Service Center for inspection.
»
Use only FOX Racing Shox replacement parts. Using aftermarket parts on FOX products will void its
warranty.
»
If mounting the bicycle in a carrier designed to hold a fork by its dropouts, use caution not to tilt the
bicycle to either side. Tilting the bike with the dropouts in the carrier can cause structural damage to the
fork. Ensure that the fork is fastened securely with the quick-release (36 & 40: with the bike carrier's
thru-axle mount) and that the rear wheel is properly held. If the bicycle ever tilts or falls from a bicycle
carrier, do not ride it until it is examined by a qualified dealer, Authorized Service Center or FOX Racing
Shox. A fork leg or dropout failure can cause loss of control and serious or fatal injuries.
»
FOX forks do not include reflectors for on-road use. Proper reflectors meeting the Consumer Product Safety
Commission's (CPSC) requirements should be installed if the fork will be used on public roads.
»
Do not modify your bike frame or shock. Use only genuine FOX Racing Shox parts. Modification, improper
service or use of aftermarket replacement parts voids the warranty and could cause the shock to malfunc-
tion, and can cause loss of control resulting in serious injury or death.
»
FOX forks have a crown/steerer/upper tube assembly (40: crown/steerer assembly). These parts are
pressed together in a one-time, precision press-fit operation. Replacement of any of these parts
requires a completely new assembly. Do not attempt to remove or replace the steerer or upper tubes
independently of the crown. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADD THREADS TO THREADLESS STEERERS. Modifying the
crown/steerer/upper tube assembly as described here can cause the rider to lose control of the bicycle
resulting in serious or fatal injuries.

Follow the scheduled maintenance recommendations for your particular product, as defined in the
enclosed CD-ROM owner's manual. Shock and/or fork service should be performed by FOX Racing Shox in
the USA or an Authorized Service Center outside the USA. The exception is air sleeve service and mounting
hardware service and maintenance, which can be performed by the consumer or dealer.
