Before.you.go.for.your.first.ride.with.your.new.MAGURA.suspension.fork,.
take.some.time.to.adjust.the.suspension.and.damping.to.match.your.

Djusting the suspensiOn

)
L L The.air.suspension.on.your.MAGURA.suspension.fork.helps.to.compen-
sate.for.uneven.terrain.and.keeps.your.front.wheel.in.contact.with.the.
ground.at.all.times..
Insufficient.air.pressure.causes.a.pronounced.drop,.frequent.bottoming.
out.and.a.spongy.ride..
Excessive.air.pressure.reduces.the.maximum.suspension.travel.and.
provokes.a.hard.response.from.your.suspension.fork..
As.a.general.rule,.the.higher.your.weight.and.speed,.and.the.rougher.
the.terrain,.the.higher.the.air.pressure.will.need.to.be.
Material damage due to severe bottoming out caused by insufficient air
pressure.
Î – Never.use.your.suspension.fork.if.there.is.insufficient.or.no.air.pressure..
Material damage due to excessive air pressure.
Î – Never.exceed.the.maximum.permissible.air.pressure.of.10.bar.(150.psi)..
Air leaking due to incorrect fitting of the valve cover.
Î – Never.use.the.suspension.fork.without.a.valve.cover.
Î – Always.keep.the.valve.cover.seals.clean.
Î – Always.firmly.close.the.valve.cover.
