6. HANDLING
6.1 TRANSPORT
Careful transport avoids damage to the fork. The stanchions in particular must be protected from
damage.
6.2 STORAGE (> 1 MONTH)
Careful storage prolongs the life of the fork. Note the following points:
• Reduce the air pressure.
• Clean the fork and control elements.
• For the remote version, release the tension of the cable strain in order to prevent wear.

6.3 RECOMMISSIONING AFTER STORAGE

1. Invert the fork.
→ The lubricating oil runs from the lower section of the fork over the bushings, therefore
lubricating them.
2. Gently compress the fork a few times.
→ The lubricating oil is distributed.
3. Check the air pressure in the spring element and adjust it as necessary (see "4.1 Adjusting the air
pressure" on page 24).
