General safety regulations

After a complete breakdown, always use new seals when reassembling.
To tighten two bolts or nuts that are near each other, always follow the sequence 1-2-1 using the required
tightening torque (see Table 1 – Tightening Torques).
Never use flammable or corrosive solvents to clean the parts, as these could damage the seals. If
necessary use specific detergents that are not corrosive, not flammable or have a high flash point,
compatible with the seals materials and preferably biodegradable.
If you are planning not to use your fork for a long time, always lubricate the forks components that are in
contact with some fork's oil.
Never pour lubricants, solvents or detergents which are not completely biodegradable in the
environment; these must be collected and kept in the relevant special containers, then disposed of
according to the regulations in force.
Use only metric spanners, not imperial spanners, which may have similar sizes, but can damage the
bolts and make it impossible to unscrew them.
Use the correct size and sort of screwdriver to unscrew slotted or crosshead screws.
When using a screwdriver to assemble or disassemble metal stop rings, o-rings, sliding bushings or seal
segments, avoid scratching or cutting the components with the screwdriver tip.
Only proceed to maintenance/overhaul operations if you are sure you are able to do it and you have got
the right tools. If this is not the case, or if you are unsure, please contact an authorized service center,
where specialized technicians with the right tools and original spare parts will service and overhaul your
fork, putting it back into its original working conditions.
Only use original spare parts.
Work in a clean, ordered and well-lit place; if possible, avoid servicing outdoors.
Polished surfaces need to be periodically treated with some "polishing compound" to be kept as bright as
new.
Carefully check there are no metal shavings or dust in the work area.
Do not modify the fork's components.
