Air Preload - Marzocchi BOMBER Manual Del Operador

5.1.2 Air preload

To inflate your fork, use only the special
MARZOCCHI pump with pressure gauge,
which you can buy at the authorized centers.
Use of improper tools might lead to improper
inflating and cause improper function or
damage to the fork itself.
If you need to reduce the pressure inside the fork's
leg, just push lightly on the valve pin, by means of a
pointed object. Apply the same preload pressure on
both legs.
By pressurizing air through the valve (D), you
can adjust the damping of the forces generated
during the COMPRESSION phase.
If you increase the pressure inside the fork's leg,
you increase the preload. To do so, you need to:
• Remove the dust cap (A).
• Fully tighten the threaded pump adapter.
• Inflate air up to the required pressure.
• Refit the dust cap (A).
Some forks are provided
sophisticated adjustment system and a different
air valve: in this case, to adjust the air preload,
you will need the supplied dedicated adapter.
