WARNING AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Modification or alteration of your frame in a way that affects the
rear shock may cause product failure resulting in SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH. Never modify, or alter ANY part of your OEM frame
components that actuate the rear shock (including yokes, strut
mounting components, or rocker links).
Use of aftermarket frame parts that affect the rear shock (not
tested and approved by the OE frame manufacturer) may cause
the product to malfunction, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
Your fork or shock may fail under conditions that cause bending
and/or breaking to any part of the fork or shock. Any condition
that causes a loss of air and/or oil, such as a collision or extended
periods of non-use, may also cause your fork or shock to fail.
A damaged and/or leaking fork or shock can fail, resulting in a
crash and SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. If you suspect your fork or
shock has been damaged, stop riding immediately and contact
FOX for inspection and repair.
Never attempt to pull apart, open, disassemble, or service a
FOX shock that is in a "stuck down" condition. A "stuck down"
condition results from a failure of the dynamic air seal (located
between the positive and negative air chambers within the
non-EVOL shock air sleeve), resulting with the negative chamber
retaining a higher pressure than the positive chamber. To test
whether the shock is in fact "stuck down":
3
• Remove the air cap and depress the Schrader valve, to
completely release air pressure from the positive chamber
of the shock.
• If the shock body retracts into the air sleeve near bottom-
out after the air is released from the positive chamber,
attach a FOX high-pressure pump and pressurize the
shock to 250 psi (17 bar).
• If the shock does not fully extend, it is in a "stuck down"
condition.
• Any attempt to service FOX air shocks in the "stuck
down" condition can lead to SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Contact FOX or an Authorized Service Center for repair.
