protective cover is critical battery to protect the battery while
it is in storage or being transported away from the controller.
DO NOT discard the controller's protective cover. This
protective cover is critical for protecting the main controller

Modification or alteration of a FOX product can cause product
failure resulting in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. Never modify
or alter ANY part of a FOX product (including lower leg cross
brace, crown, steerer, upper tubes, lower leg, air can, seat post,

Do not remove or replace the steerer tube. This could result in
the loss of control of the bicycle and SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH.
Never attempt to remove or replace the steerer or upper
tubes independently from the crown. Modifying the
integrated crown, steerer, or upper tubes can cause an
assembly failure, resulting in a loss of control of the bicycle
and SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Do not cut the steerer more than three (3) mm below the
uppermost installed part. If the steerer length is mistakenly
cut too short, it MUST BE REPLACED! Using a fork with
clamped steerer engagement that is too short can lead to
sudden fork failure, which can cause loss of control of the
bicycle resulting in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
If the steerer tube has any nicks or gouges that can be felt
with your fingernail, the crown/steerer tube assembly must
be replaced. A nick or gouge can cause the steerer tube to
fail, resulting in a loss of control of the bicycle and SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH.
Never attempt to cut threads into the threadless steerers of
FOX forks. Cutting threads into a threadless steerer can cause
the steerer tube to fail, resulting in a loss of control of the
bicycle and SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
