4.2.3.3 ADJUSTEMENT OF LAUNCH CONTROL AND THRESHOLD
INFORMATION
If low speed compression is turned to maximum then it may have an influence on the Launch Control function if the Threshold
Adjuster is in position 1. In such a case decrease the low speed compression by turning the blue adjuster knob at the bottom
end of the right stanchion or increase the release force of the Launch Control function by turning the nickel-plated adjuster
lever clockwise.
• ACTIVATING:
Press the red adjuster knob on the right stanchion down completely and compress the fork. After strongly compressing the
fork, the fork will rebound to a pre-defined level.
• DEACTIVATING:
CAUTION
The fork can rebound very fast, when deactivating the Launch Control function manually. Therefore the head of the rider
must not be over the stem or the handlebar.
Adjustment of the release force may not be made when the bicycle is in motion!
The Launch Control function can be deactivated manually or automatically.
The force needed to deactivate the Launch Control can be adjusted by turning the grey lever on the top of the right stanchion.
Clockwise to get the force higher, counterclockwise to get it lower.
• Manually: Pull the red adjuster knob on the top of the right stanchion out. The fork expands completely.
• Automatically: Through a shock from the ground (e.g. riding over obstacles) the Launch Control function will be automati-
cally deactivated. The release force to deactivate the Launch Control function can be adjusted using the nickel-plated
adjuster lever (Threshold Adjuster).

5.1 BEDDING-IN TIME
Some parts of the new fork may need some bedding-in or sagging-in time. Especially the bushings of the new fork may have a
higher breakaway force. Therefore the fork may be uncomfortable. After about 20 hours of riding, the fork should be run in,
and the effect will disappear.
5.2 BEFORE EACH RIDE
Check the fork for externally visible damage such as cracks or deep scratches. Listen for unusual noises during slow riding or
braking in a secure area. Do not use a defective fork!
If one of the mentioned incidences above apply, contact your local dealer or the responsible DT Swiss Service Center.
5.3 AFTER A CRASH
After a crash the danger of damage is very high. Check your fork thoroughly after each crash.
Visual check: Look for damage such as cracks, breaks, oil leakages and scratches etc.
Functional check: Try out whether all functions such as damping, suspension and Lockout or Launch Control work correctly.
Acoustic check: Listen for unusual noises during slow riding or braking in a secure area.
CAUTION
Do not use a defective fork! Contact your local dealer or the responsible DT Swiss Service Center to repair the damage.
5.4 BUSHING CLEARANCE DT SWISS FORKS
DT Swiss forks use bushings in combination with oil lubrication. The function of the bushings is laid out for driving operation
regarding an optimum of lubrication, thermal expansion of parts based on warming, manufacturing tolerances and the occur-
ring loads. The bushing clearance is therefore necessary for the correct function of the fork and may be noticeable. A possible
noticeable bushing clearance does not automatically mean an excessive wear out.
