Useful Marzocchi manuals btw: http://manualer.happymtb.org/marzocchi/

I found these hunting for another problem, hope they can be of use to everyone!

TIP: If you do an 'advanced search' with Google, put in .pdf as the filetype & you can find tech manuals for everything from your car to bike & all things in between if you use the right wording.
