Safety Instructions

SUSPENSION

Safety Instructions

1. Follow the safety instructions listed here. Any failure to follow these safety instructions could cause you to crash while riding your bicycle, which could result in serious and/or fatal injuries.

2. Have a qualified bicycle mechanic install your RockShox suspension fork (fork) and/or rear shock (shock). It is extremely important that the fork or shock is installed correctly. Improperly installed forks or shocks are extremely dangerous.

3. Except as expressly instructed in the RockShox user manual and/or service manual, do not modify your fork. Modifications may cause the fork to malfunction, and make your bicycle unsafe to ride. Modification will also void your warranty.

4. The fork on your bicycle is designed for use by a single rider. Off-road forks can be used on mountain trails and similar off-road conditions. Urban forks should only be used on pavement and/or unimproved roads and dirt paths. Urban forks should not be used on mountain trails or similar off-road conditions.

5. Before riding your bicycle, confirm the brakes are properly installed and adjusted. Use the brakes carefully and learn the brakes’ characteristics by first practicing your braking technique in non-emergency situations. Hard braking, improper use of the front brake, or brakes that are out of adjustment, improperly installed, or are not used properly, can cause you to crash, and sustain serious and/or fatal injuries.

6. Before riding your bicycle confirm you are using the correctly sized wheels for your fork and bicycle. Confirm the wheels are properly installed and secured to the bicycle, and are used with compatible components. Your RockShox fork is designed to secure a front wheel using a quick release axle or thru axle. Be sure you understand which axle your bike has and how to properly operate it. Do not use a bolt on axle with your fork.

7. Riding a bicycle with the incorrect wheel size, improperly installed wheels, or incompatible components may allow the wheels to disengage from the bicycle, which can cause you to crash, and sustain serious and/or fatal injuries.

8. Check the tire clearance to the fork whenever you change tires. Failure to leave at least 6 mm of clearance between the top of the inflated tire and the bottom of the fork crown will cause the tire to jam against the crown when the fork is fully compressed. This can lead to a crash and serious injury and/or death to the rider. To check tire clearance, compress the fork completely to ensure there is at least 6 mm of clearance between the top of the inflated tire and the bottom of the crown.

9. Do not allow cables, housing, or brake hose to rest on or be attached to the fork crown, steerer tube, or upper tubes. Confirm internally routed cables, housing, or brake hoses DO NOT contact the steerer tube. Contact and abrasion over time could result in damage to components, loss of control, and possible INJURY OR DEATH. Damage from abrasion is not covered under warranty.

10. Your fork or shock may fail in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, conditions that cause a loss of oil and/or air; collisions or other activity that bends or breaks any part of the fork or shock. Extended periods of non-use may also cause your fork or shock to fail. Do not ride your bicycle if you notice: loss of oil and/or air; sounds of excessive topping out; bent or broken fork or shock parts; or any other indications of a possible fork or shock failure, such as loss of shock absorbing properties. Fork and shock failure may not be visible. If you suspect your fork or shock my be damaged, stop riding and take your bike to a qualified dealer for inspection and repair.

11. Always use genuine RockShox replacement parts. Use of aftermarket replacement parts other than RockShox parts voids the warranty on your fork or shock and could cause structural failure to the fork or shock. Structural failure of the fork or shock can cause you to crash, and sustain serious and/or fatal injuries.

12. Do not tilt the bicycle to either side when mounting the bicycle to a carrier by the fork drop-outs (i.e., when the front wheel is removed). The fork legs may suffer structural damage if the bicycle is tilted while the drop-outs are in the carrier. Make sure the fork is securely fastened according to the bike carrier’s instructions. Make sure the rear wheel is securely fastened when using any bike carrier that secures the fork’s drop-outs. Not securing the rear wheel can allow the bicycle’s mass to side load the drop-outs, causing the drop-out to break or crack. If the bicycle tilts or falls out of its carrier, do not ride the bicycle until the fork is properly examined for possible damage; take your bicycle to a qualified dealer for inspection and repair. A fork leg or drop-out failure can cause you to crash, and sustain serious and/or fatal injuries. To locate a dealer near you, consult the International Distributor List available on-line at www.sram.com.

13. For forks designed for use with rim type brakes, install rim type brakes to the existing brake posts only. Do not use any brake other than those intended by the brake manufacturer to work with a hangerless brace. Do not route the front brake cable and/or cable housing through the stem or any other mounts or cable stops.

14. For forks designed for use with disc-style brakes, follow the brake manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation of the brake caliper. For forks using a post style disc brake mount, ensure that your brake caliper mounting bolts have between 9 and 12 mm of thread engagement and are tightened to 9-10 N•m (80-90 in-lb) when installed on the fork. Failure to have proper thread engagement can damage the brake mounting posts, which can cause you to crash, and sustain serious and/or fatal injuries.

15. Follow the user manual or service manual instructions for maintenance and service of your fork or shock.

16. RockShox forks do not come with the reflectors required by federal law for new bicycles, 16 cfr §1512.16. Additional requirements for reflectors and lighting may exist and vary by location. Your dealer should install proper reflectors and lighting systems to meet all applicable federal, state, and local requirements. Always use front and rear lights in addition to reflectors if riding at night or in reduced visibility.

17. If your shock will not return to full extension, do not attempt to service or disassemble your shock. Attempting to service a shock that will not return to full extension can cause severe and/or fatal injuries.


BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER

Safety Instructions

Lithium ion batteries are hazardous. Any failure to follow these safety instructions could damage the battery or charger which could cause fire, chemical burns, electrolyte leaks, and/or could lead to serious and/or fatal injuries. If the battery explodes, immediately call the fire department, cautiously remove any other batteries if possible, evacuate all persons from immediate area of fire, and use cold water to put out the fire.

Safety Instructions
