User manual AIWA AD-F780

[. . . ] READING THIS MANUAL ENTIRELY AND PROPERLY MAINTAINING YOUR BICYCLE AND SUSPENSION FORK WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH. PRIOR TO RIDING YOUR BICYCLE, YOU SHOULD INSPECT YOUR SUSPENSION FORK TO ENSURE THAT NO DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED DURING THE COURSE OF PREVIOUS RIDING OR ASSEMBLY. DO NOT RIDE YOUR BICYCLE IF THE FORK SHOWS ANY SIGNS OF BENDING, CRACKING, CREAKING, LEAKING, OR IF IT IS MISSING ANY OF THE ORIGINALLY SUPPLIED COMPONENTS. ANY FALL FROM YOUR BICYCLE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. [. . . ] Pressing them out will permanently damage the crown beyond repair and render it unsafe for any continued use. Cutting threads will weaken the steerer tube and cause an unsafe condition. The only safe thing to do is to obtain the proper crown/steerer from your dealer, or contact Answer Customer Service at (800) 423-0273. Any other alteration or modification to your fork should be considered unsafe. Contact Answer Customer Service prior to modifying your fork in any way for safety information. Do not use the fork if any parts are broken, bent, cracked, or you suspect may be damaged. Contact your dealer or Answer Products Customer Service at (800) 4230273 if you have any questions concerning the integrity or condition of your fork. Answer Products recommends that you periodically inspect your fork for wear and damage. Inspect the crown, inner legs, outer legs, dropouts and brake arch areas for cracks or damage. TABLE 2: TRAVEL MEASUREMENT FORK TRAVEL 80 mm 100 mm 120 mm SEAL TO CROWN MEASUREMENT Around 101 mm Around 121 mm Around 141 mm MEASURING SAG You'll need a tape measure, a pencil, a piece of paper and a helper. Measure the distance from the front axle's centerline to the bottom of the upper crown when no one's sitting on the bike and write this distance down. (Remember the exact locations of the two points because you'll need to use them later. ) 2. Following the break-in period, your fork will feel much smoother and will react to bumps much better than when you first put it on your bike. After 20 hours, you may want to recheck adjustments (where applicable) to fine tune the fork completely. RAPID TRAVEL WIND DOWN To change the travel with Rapid Travel Wind Down, just turn the knob located at the top of the left leg (from a rider's perspective) clockwise for shorter travel and counterclockwise for longer travel. The number that is right side up from the rider's perspective (at the back of the fork crown) indicates your current travel setting. Do not attempt to activate this travel adjust feature while riding. COMPRESSION DAMPING ADJUSTMENT ­ TPC LOCKOUT For TPC with lockout forks, a simple turn of the knob located on top of the right leg is all that is needed to add compression damping and activate the lockout. Turning the knob clockwise (as you are looking from a rider's position) increases compression damping and activates the lockout, while turning the knob counterclockwise decreases compression damping and deactivates the lockout. The last 1/2 turn of the knob activates the lockout, while the initial part of the knob's travel increases or decreases compression damping. 04 BLACK SERVICE PART KITS 04 BLACK Damping Assemblies 85-5800 85-5868 85-5556 85-5365 85-5306 85-5802 85-5322 BLACK Comp/Elite/Super Air Compression Damping Assembly BLACK Platinum Compression Damping Assembly BLACK Comp 100 mm Rebound Damping Assembly BLACK Comp 120 mm Rebound Damping Assembly BLACK Elite/Super Air 100 mm Rebound Damping Assembly BLACK Elite/Super Air/Platinum 120 mm Rebound Damping Assembly BLACK Super Air 80 mm Rebound Damping Assembly SPV DAMPING ADJUSTMENT With SPV damping, your suspension's compression damping characteristics and position sensitivity can be set with an SPV pump (Manitou part #85-4161). For proper function of your SPV damping system use the following procedure. Start by removing the red air cap located on the top of the right leg (from the rider's perspective) and, using a dedicated SPV pump (Manitou part #854161), inflate the fork to 50 psi. More pressure will create more compression damping, hold the bike up more and pedal better. Less pressure will create less compression damping, allow more sag, and be more responsive and supple. With a 16 mm socket wrench or the SPV 16 mm volume adjust socket (part #85-3007), you can adjust the air volume in your SPV suspension. [. . . ] Ensure that quick release skewers are properly adjusted and tight per quick release manufacturer's instructions. NOTE: Forks with standard dropouts are equipped with dropout safety tabs to retain the wheel in the fork in the event the quick release comes loose. Do not use the fork if any parts are broken, bent, cracked, or you suspect may be damaged. Check the headset for proper adjustment per headset manufacturer's instructions. [. . . ]
