Fox 32 FLOAT Mode D'emploi page 4

Never install the FOX 40 Mud Guard without first
adjusting the "top of crown" to "top of upper tube"
position to 132 mm (A). The FOX 40 fork with the FOX 40
Mud Guard "top of the crown" to "top of the upper tube"
position MUST BE EXACTLY 132 mm or SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH may result.
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.
Never use more than 30 mm of height of steerer stem
spacers under the steerer stem, as this condition can
cause the steerer tube to fail, causing a loss of control
resulting in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Never allow things such as cable or cable housing to
come in contact with the steer tube of a fork. If your
bike has internal cable and cable housing routing, please
consult your bicycle manufactures owner's guide for
safety instructions. Cable and/or cable housing that
comes in contact with a steer tube can cause the steerer
tube to fail, resulting in a loss of control of the bicycle
and SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Cable housing contacting the fork crown will cause
abrasion damage to the crown over time. If contact is
unavoidable, use vinyl tape or similar protection to cover
the point of contact. The FOX warranty does not cover
abrasion damage to the FOX fork crown.
Improper service, or use of non-FOX replacement parts
with FOX forks and shocks may cause the product to
malfunction, resulting in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
As dirt and debris can accumulate between the fork axle
openings, always check and clean these areas before
installing the wheel. Improper hub and axle installation
can result in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Never use a power washer to clean your FOX product.
WARNING AND SAFETY INFORMATION
4
If your fork loses oil, tops or bottoms out excessively,
or makes unusual noises, do not ride the fork and
immediately contact FOX or an Authorized FOX Service
Center for an inspection or repair service.
32 AX forks require a minimum clearance of 8.5 mm
between the edges of the inflated tire and the fender or
crown and steerer at bottom-out. Never use a tire larger
than 700 c x 50 mm on 32 AX forks. A fender may be
used with a tire size up to 700 c x 45 mm. NEVER use
a tire size larger than 700 c x 45 mm with a fender; this
will not provide sufficient clearance. Failure to provide
sufficient clearance may cause the tire to jam against the
crown or fender when the fork is fully compressed, which
can result in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
Lights mounted to AWL forks must clear all fender
components and moving parts with at least 8.5 mm
of clearance. Failure to leave a minimum clearance of
8.5 mm between the light mount and a fender or other
moving parts may cause the tire to jam when the fork is
fully compressed, which can result in SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH.
Follow your brake manufacturer's installation instructions
for proper installation and adjustment of the brake
system. Failure to properly install and adjust your brakes
can lead to a loss of control of the bicycle, which can
result in SEVERE 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.
A fork-mounted carrier may cause damage to the fork
legs and/or dropouts, especially in cases where the fork
is side-loaded and/or when the rear wheel is not secured
in the carrier. Damaged fork legs and/or dropouts can
fail, resulting in a crash and SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
If you suspect your fork has been damaged, contact FOX
for inspection and repair.
