Marzocchi ROCO SHOCK 2007 Handbuch Seite 10

Dirt Jumper ("DJ")/Urban Riding: This "BMX" or
"motocross" style of riding is only for the most skilled riders,
and involves jumping from one mound of dirt to another.
It also includes riding over and around "urban obstacles"
such as manmade, or other concrete, structures. These
rear shocks should only be used with frames designed for
assembling disk brakes, wheels and other components
specifi cally designed for this riding style.
Downhill ("DH")/Extreme Freeride: This discipline is only
for professional or highly skilled riders. It includes relatively
high jumps or 'drops' and negotiating larger obstacles such
as boulders, fallen trees, or holes. These rear shocks should
only be used with frames designed for assembling disk
brakes, wheels and other components specifi cally designed
for this riding style.

II.I.II Ride Properly – Do Not Misuse or Abuse of Your
rear shocks.
Never abuse or misuse your rear shocks. Learn how to ride,
and always ride within your abilities. An out-of-control ride
puts the equivalent of years of hard use on your rear shocks
after only a few rides.
Learn how to properly fl ow around obstacles on the trail.
Hitting obstacles such as rocks, trees or holes straight-on
puts forces on your rear shock it was not designed to absorb.
Landing improperly after a jump or drop also puts forces on
your rear shock it was not designed to absorb. You should
only perform jumps or drops when a transition, or down ramp,
is available to help your bicycle absorb the impact forces
generated during the landing by having both wheels smoothly
make contact with the transition, or down ramp, at the same
time. Any other type of landing is dangerous, as it could result
in a component part failure and an accident. The steepness
and length of the transition, or down ramp depends on the
height from which you jump or drop. Every situation is different
for every rider, so consult with an experienced rider before
attempting any jump or drop.
W !
ARNING
Failure to properly fl ow around obstacles on the trail, or
failure to properly land after a jump or drop, could cause
your rear shocks to fail, resulting in a loss of bicycle
control, serious injury, or death to the rider.
W !
ARNING
Your rear shocks require regular maintenance and
repair. The harder you ride, the more often you must
inspect and perform maintenance on your rear shocks.
If your rear shocks are leaking, bent, deformed, cracked,
or chipped, no matter how slight, immediately have
a Certifi ed Marzocchi Repair Center inspect the rear
shocks before you ride again.
R
EMEMBER
Even rear shocks made out of solid metal will fail if they are
misused, abused, or improperly used! Extreme use can
eventually wear out and break even the strongest components.
