LOCK-OUT SYSTEMS

The „Lock-Out" function of SR SUNTOUR rear shock is intended to reduce teetering during rides
out of saddle or uphill riding. The rear shock will not be locked 100%. Your rear shock is equiped
with a so called „Anti-Blow-Off-System". This system will protect you in case you have forgotten to
unlock the rear shock while riding in rough terrain.
Nevertheless, you should never set your rear shock to the „Lock-Out-Mode" while
riding in rough terrain, going down hill or jumping. This implies the risk that the
shock will get damaged when it's being compressed under high load. This could
also result into an accident, injuries or even death of the rider.

MAINTENANCE

SR SUNTOUR rear shocks are designed to be nearly maintenance free. However, as long as moving
parts are exposed to moisture and contamination, the performance of your rear shock might be
reduced after several rides. To maintain a high performance, safety and a long life of your rear
shock, a periodic maintenance is required.
Please keep in mind that a rear shock which has not been serviced in accordance
with the maintenance instructions will loose its warranty!
Never use a pressure washer or any water under pressure to clean your rear
shock as water may enter the shock at the dust seal level.
We recommend that your rear shock is being serviced more fequently as indica-
ted below if you ride in extreme weather (winter time) and terrain conditions.
Any case you may feel that your rear shock performance has changed or handles
differently, immediately call on your local dealer to inspect your rear shock.
Please note that your SR SUNTOUR rear shock is filled with oil and nitrogen. This makes it impos-
sible to open the rear shock without having the knowledge and the special tools how to carry out
this task. Please do not try to open the rear shock for service issues, this implies a very high risk of
getting seriously injured. Besides this, you will not be able to reassemble the shock anymore. Ope-
ning the shock will void its warrnty. If there is any problem with your rear shock, please consultate
counter-clockwise.
WARNING!
