quick fork question

just bought a Recon Gold TK 29er fork, I'm over 230# I'm reading that is over 210 the fork should be set at 125psi+. What's +, what is the max I can inflate the fork to?
TIA.....

I'm reading that
Reading where? Product document? or some random internet post?

The answer is literally, "whatever the seals will hold". But if it were me and the 125 psi figure is legit, I'd use that.
