WARNING

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 setup, service and maintenance of your suspension. Nevertheless, please be informed that special knowledge and tools are essential to install, service and to maintain DVO / WP Suspension.

Common mechanical knowledge may not be sufficient to repair, service or maintain your suspension. Therefore we strongly recommend getting your suspension installed, serviced and/or maintained by a trained and qualified bicycle mechanic. Improper installation, service or maintenance can result in an accident.

Forks and rear shocks contain fluids and air under extreme pressure. DO NOT attempt to disassemble any portion of a DVO / WPSuspension product unless instructed to do so by a DVO / WP Suspension authorized technician.

Only use genuine DVO / WP Suspension replacement parts. Modification, improper service, or the use of aftermarket replacement or spare parts may result in an accident and VOIDS the warranty of your product.

DVO / WP Suspension forks and rear shocks are designed for the usage by a single rider only.
DO NOT use DVO / WP 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 fitted and fastened helmet. According to your riding style you should use additional safety protection. Make sure your equipment is in flawless condition.

Make sure you select the correct fork and rear shock according to your frame manufacturer specification. 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.

Make sure your wheel is attached and centered properly in order to avoid any contact with the suspension fork or brake system.
Make sure your axle system is secure. There should be no play between the hub and fork lower.
