NOTICE:
The Paioli tool kit (P/N 449 450 020) is needed to perform
modifications such as seal replacements and complete fork
disassembly. For smaller operations such as fluid changes
and/or compression valving adjustments, the supplied special
tool is sufficient.
Scratches or other damage to inner tube surfaces or
gasket edges may cause oil leaks.
Scratches and other damage must be avoided. Use a mild
detergent or an automobile cleaning product to dislodge
any dirt.
An inadequate dismantling of the fork leg top cap may
damage the rebound adjustment needle resulting in a
malfunction of the system.
To prevent such a situation, set the rebound adjustment
to its fastest position (by turning it counterclockwise)
before taking the cap off.
Take note of the initial position of this adjustment by
counting the number of "clicks" between the initial
position and the point where a slight resistance is felt
(turning clockwise).
Unscrew the fork leg top cap completely while holding
o
the outer tube. Lower the outer tube slowly until it
comes into contact with the lower section of the inner
tube.
Using your hand, push the top part of the spring down to
o
provide enough space to insert the open end of a
spanner wrench.
