6 Service and Care
6.1
Care
To ensure a long product life, follow the instructions below:
•
Clean the fork with a damp cloth. Remove dirt between stanchion/lower unit.
•
Never use aggressive cleaners that damage rubber materials (main seals)!
•
Never use high pressure cleaners. Water and dirt can get into the system and damage it!
•
Remove all visible, dried dirt from the area of the main seals. This will prevent dirt from getting into the
fork.
•
It is not necessary to grease the main seals. To get a good lubrication of the main seals, regularly turn your
bike or fork upside down.
•
After cleaning, lubricate the sliding surface of the remote lever on the handlebar.
