Be sure to read this manual carefully before using your DVO suspension. Throughout this manual,
reference is made that “an accident” could occur. Any accident may cause damage to the product,
SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH.
These instructions contain important information about the correct installation, guidelines for set-
up, service and maintenance of your suspension. Nevertheless, please be informed that special
knowledge and tools are essential to install, service and to maintain DVO Suspension. Common
mechanical knowledge may not be sufcient to repair, service or maintain your suspension. There-
fore we strongly recommend getting your suspension installed, serviced and/or maintained by a
trained and qualied bicycle mechanic. Improper installation, service or maintenance can result in
an accident.
Forks and rear shocks contain uids and air under extreme pressure. DO NOT attempt to disas-
semble any portion of a DVO Suspension product unless instructed to do so by a DVO Suspension
authorized technician.
Only use genuine DVO Suspension replacement parts. Modication, improper service, or the use of
aftermarket replacement or spare parts may result in an accident and VOIDS the warranty of your
product.
DVO Suspension forks and rear shocks are designed for the usage by a single rider only.
DO NOT use DVO Suspension products on any powered vehicle that is not a pedal-assist Class-1
or Class-3 e Bike.
Always be equipped with proper safety gear. This includes a properly tted and fastened helmet.
According to your riding style you should use additional safety protection. Make sure your equip-
ment is in awless condition.
Make sure you select the correct fork and rear shock according to your frame manufacturer spec-
ication. Installing suspension that does not match the geometry of your frame could result in a
failure of the suspension itself and void the suspension warranty. Installing a fork or rear shock not
designed for your frame will change the geometry and handling of your bike. Learn how to ride and
train your skills. Know your limits and never ride beyond those.
Study all other manuals provided with your bicycle and make yourself familiar with all components
mounted to your bike.
Failure to comply with these warnings and instructions may cause SERIOUS
INJURY, DEATH, or DAMAGE TO YOUR PRODUCT.
