Table 8 - Key to table
Obtaining the maximum performance from your suspension
system depends on using the correct settings and making the
proper adjustments. This section describes how to properly
set and make adjustments to your Marzocchi forks.
In order to fi nd the best settings for you, you will need to
try several times to understand where and how to make
adjustments. When doing so, please ride in an open area,
free from traffi c, obstacles and other hazards.
The best settings not only depend on the mountain bike
frame geometry, the rider's weight and the types of trail
or obstacles, but also on many other personal factors
connected with your riding style. Therefore, it is not possible
to provide you with objective information concerning your
desired settings.
However, if you carefully follow the instruction given below,
you may fi nd the best settings for you in a short time.
Changing the settings on your forks must be done by acting
on only one adjuster at a time, taking note of the modifi cations
you carry out and the improvements you obtain.

During the setting operations, never force the adjusters
past their limits and do not exceed the recommended
maximum air pressure.

To keep the pressure inside the fork's legs, only use the
special MARZOCCHI pump with pressure gauge, which
can be purchased at any authorized Marzocchi center.
The use of any other pump can compromise the infl ating
operation and cause malfunction or damage to the fork,
resulting in an accident, personal injury or death.

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.

If your fork "bottoms" out, immediately adjust the
compression adjustment or check the oil height of the
fork. Incorrect compression adjust can result in fork
damage, an accident, personal injury or death. Adjusting
your oil height should be conducted by an authorized or
knowledgeable suspension service technician.

Sometimes changing the oil height may be necessary
to obtain a perfect setting. Adjusting the oil height should
be conducted by an authorized Marzocchi service center.
Please address to an authorized Marzocchi service center if
you require a different oil height.
