MAINTENANCE
Your fork requires periodic maintenance, cleaning, and inspection. Torque values
of bolts and fasteners must be checked periodically, more often if riding in extreme
conditions. To maintain top performance, it is recommended that the fork be periodically
disassembled, cleaned, dried and re-lubricated. After every ride wipe down the inner
legs and the seal area to extend the life of the seal. We highly recommend that
service to your fork be completed by a qualified bicycle mechanic. You can
download service and tuning instructions on the web at www.manitoumtb.com
