Fork Maintenance - SR Suntour AIR SPRING SERIE Bedienungsanleitung

SR SUNTOUR - OWNERS MANUAL

FORK MAINTENANCE

SR SUNTOUR forks are designed to be nearly maintenance free. However, as long as moving parts
are exposed to moisture and contamination, the performance of your fork might be reduced after
several rides. To maintain a high performance, safety and a long life of your fork, a periodic main-
tenance is required.
Please keep in mind that a fork which has not been serviced in accordance with
the maintenance instructions will loose its warranty!
Never use a pressure washer or any water under pressure to clean your fork as
water may enter the fork at the dust seal level.
We recommend that your fork is being serviced more fequently as indicated
below if you ride in extreme weather (winter time) and terrain conditions.
Any case you may feel that your forks performance has changed or handles diffe-
rently immediately call on your local dealer to inspect your fork.
