ADJUSTMENTS

The rear shocks Marzocchi Suspension have a variety of
practicable adjustments by virtue of the adjusters.
By carefully calibrating the damping system you can get the
maximum performance out of the same.
This paragraph indicates the sequence of operations to
perform to set the Marzocchi ROCO shock absorbers
up correctly. To obtain the optimal settings you should do
several tests to understand which adjuster and how much
adjustment to use. The optimal setting is infl uenced by the
geometry of the frame of the mountain bike, the weight
of the cyclist, the type of terrain the bike will be used on
and the type of obstacles you have to deal with, but also
by subjective factors associated with your riding style;
therefore it is impossible to provide objective data on the
desired settings.
Nevertheless by carefully following the instructions below you
will soon be able to fi nd the optimal setting for you. The shock
absorber must be calibrated simply by using one adjuster at
a time, following the order below, noting the operations and
any result step-by-step.
W !
ARNING
During the setting operations, never force the adjusters
past their limits and do not exceed the recommended
maximum air pressure.
W !
ARNING
To keep the pressure inside the rear shock only use the
special MARZOCCHI pump with pressure gauge, which
can be purchased at any Marzocchi authorised centre.
The use of any other type of pump can jeopardise the
infl ating operation and cause malfunction or damage
to the rear shock with consequent accidents, personal
injury and even death.

OTE
Once you have found the best setting, we suggest taking
notes of the adjuster clicks or the number of turns, in respect
to the "all-closed" position (adjuster completely turned
clockwise), so that it will be easier to re-establish the original
setting after possible changes.
W !
ARNING
If the rear shock bottoms, immediately adjust
compression. Incorrect adjustment of compression can
lead to damage to the rear shock, accidents, personal
injury and even death.
