Default Rebound, top or bottom on marzocchi 48

In the gasgas manual it says that rebound is top and compression is bottom. Today I found a manual on the Marzocchi websites and there it says that it is the opposite. http://moto.marzocchi.com/System/12002/manual%2048.pdf
Can someone explain please?

Different model Gassers come with different forks. The suspension has also changed a few times over the years.

Always go with the manufacturer on these specs.

In general, the location of the compression adjuster is to do with the design of the fork and where the base valve is positioned internally. On closed chamber forks such as the Marzocchi 48mm with PFP it is on the top. On the open chamber such as the 45mm USDs it is the bottom.

The 48mm zockes closed cartridge has:
Compression on top
Rebound on bottom
Like most of the CC forks.

In other words most of the gasgas owners out there have it wrong, including myself since gasgas are useless in wrighting manuals

useless at writing...

Some things are lost in translation, some are just poorly proofed. This site is your user manual.

The comp and rebound adjustment got me too! The zoke manual is pretty good if you take the time to read and understand it.
