ENVIRONMENTAL NOTES

In order to protect the environment, please follow these simple instructions to cor-
rectly dispose of FORMULA S.a.S products:
1) The packaging does not require special disposal because it is not dangerous in any
way; we suggest recycling paper and plastic.
2) It is also recommended to recycle the metal parts after use. For both points men-
tioned above, it is recommended to dispose of the waste following national regula-
tions through the appropriate specialized waste disposal companies.
CHECK BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
In order to guarantee your health and maximum enjoyment, check before every ride
that FORMULA MOD shock absorber is ready.
• Make sure the shock absorber is clean: using water and neutral soap, clean the out-
side of the suspension by hand. Subsequently, after a splash of water, act with a dry
and soft cloth to remove the residues;
ATTENTION: do not use solvents or degreasers. They can damage external sur-
faces. Do not use high pressure water sprayers directly on the shock absorber
joints, in particular near the hydraulic seals which could be seriously damaged and
compromise the functioning of the suspension.
• Inspect the outside of the shock absorber. Check if there are no breakages and / or
damages. If present, contact the FORMULA dealer immediately for inspection or re-
pair. Do not use the shock absorber in this case.
• Make sure that the frame coupling screws are tightened to the correct tightening
torque as recommended by the frame manufacturer. The hardware does not play
with the coupling screws. If yes, immediately replace them, see manual at
paragraph "b".
• Also make sure that the coil spring is properly preloaded as recommended by para-
graph "e".
