Fox 32 FLOAT Mode D'emploi page 10

AIR SPRING VOLUME SPACERS (FLOAT AND RHYTHM FORKS ONLY)
Changing volume spacers in FOX FLOAT and Rhythm forks is an easy internal adjustment that
allows you to change the amount of mid stroke and bottom out resistance. If you have set your sag
correctly and are using full travel (bottoming out) too easily, then you could install one or more
spacers to increase bottom out resistance. If you are not using full travel, then you could remove one
or more spacers to decrease bottom out resistance.
Note: Some 32 FLOAT forks come with a factory installed hollow volume spacer. Standard blue
32 mm volume spacers can be added to the hollow volume spacer to further reduce air volume
if desired.
1. Remove the air cap.
2. Release all air pressure from the fork by depressing the Schrader valve.
FOX forks may contain high air pressures. Release ALL air pressure from the main air
chamber before disassembly. Failure to do so may result in parts or fluids ejecting
from the fork, which can cause SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
3. For 40 forks only: Use a 5 mm hex wrench to loosen the air-side upper crown pinch bolt.
4. Carefully unthread the topcap from the fork with a 6-point chamfer-less 26 mm socket (for 36,
38, and 40 Forks, use a 6-point chamfer-less 32 mm socket, and for AX forks use a Park Tool
FR-5 or FR-5.2 Cassette tool).
5. Pull up to remove the topcap assembly from the fork crown.
6. Slide the air volume spacer or spacers horizontally to install or remove them from the topcap.
Do not exceed the maximum number of volume spacers for your fork. This can
damage your fork. Find volume spacer information online at www.ridefox.com.
7. Reinstall the topcap assembly into the fork crown and tighten to 24.8 N-m (220 in-lb) with
a 6-point chamfer-less 26 mm socket (for 36, 38, and 40 Forks, use a 6-point chamfer-less
32 mm socket, and for AX forks use a Park Tool FR-5 or FR-5.2 Cassette tool).
For 40 forks only: Use a 5 mm hex wrench to tighten the air-side upper crown pinch bolt to
7.3 N-m (65 in-lb).
8. Add air pressure to your desired setting using a FOX high-pressure pump. Set the sag according
to instructions online at www.ridefox.com.
AIR RELEASE BUTTON/LOWER LEG BLEEDERS (36, 38, AND 40 FORKS)
The Air Release Button at the rear of each fork leg allows for built up air pressure to be released for
optimal performance. With the fork in the upright position, hold each button for 5-10 seconds.
IMPORTANT: You may notice some bath oil may come out of the bleeders during actuation, this
is normal.
