MAINTENANCE | CARE

DANGER OF BREAK AND ACCIDENTS!
• The bicycle requires regular inspection, maintenance and servicing. Only
this can ensure that it permanently complies with the safety­technical re­
quirements and works properly. Therefore, perform the test, care and
DANGER
maintenance instructions described in the individual chapters depending
on the frequency of use (but at least once per year).
• The screws and nuts installed on the bicycle must be checked for tight fit
at regular intervals (but at least every 3 months) and may need to be tigh­
tened or re­tightened to the proper strength. Only this can ensure that the
bicycle permanently complies with the safety­technical requirements and
works properly. This does not include the adjustment screws at the gear­
shift and brake components.
• Perform the repair, maintenance and setting work only if you have enough
specialist knowledge and the corresponding tools. This specifically applies
to work on the brakes. Wrong or insufficient repair, maintenance and set­
ting work may cause damage to the bicycle, malfunctions and therefore
accidents.
• The bicycle or the individual parts are exposed to partially high stress du­
ring the duration of use, accidents or improper treatment. Any kind of
cracks, scratches and colour changes may indicate that the respective part
may suddenly fail. This specifically applies to bent or damaged safety­re­
levant parts, such as the frame, fork, handlebar, stem, saddle, seat post,
luggage carrier, all brake components (specifically brake lever & brake li­
nings), lights, foot pedal, wheels, tyres and tubes. Never repair such defec­
tive parts, but replace them with genuine spare parts without delay.
• Use only genuine spare parts for exchange of parts, since they are specifi­
cally coordinated with the bicycle and can ensure proper function. This
specifically applies to safety­relevant parts, such as the frame, fork, hand­
lebar, stem, saddle, seat post, luggage carrier, all brake components (spe­
cifically brake lever & brake linings), lights, foot pedal, wheels, tyres and
tubes. If you use any third­party parts for exchange, this may lead to da­
mage and failure of safety­relevant parts.
