GENERAL CARE NOTES
DANGER OF ACCIDENT!
• Ensure that no care agent, grease or oil reaches the brake linings, brake disc
or tyres, since the brake performance may otherwise be reduced or the
WARNING!
wheels may slip.
• Never use any high pressure or steam jets for cleaning, since this may cause
damage (e.g. electronic and paint damage, damage from rust formation on
the bearings, etc.). Instead, clean the bicycle manually with warm water, a bi­
cycle cleaning agent and a soft sponge.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, since they may, e.g., attack the
paint. After cleaning, apply commercial bicycle preservation and polishing
agents, especially also to corrosion­susceptible parts.
• In order to prevent rust formation, the bicycle requires care at shorter inter­
vals in areas with salty air (near the coast) and must be treated with preser­
ving care agents.
Clean the bicycle at regular intervals (at least twice per year), to prevent damage and flash rust. In
particular after rides in the rain and in winter, there may otherwise be rust formation from
splashing or salt-containing water.

STORING THE BIKE

Clean and preserve the bicycle before storage as described in the chapter maintenance/care.
Store it in a dry room protected against large temperature fluctuations, since this may negatively
affect chrome and metal parts. Also ensure that the bicycle is protected against outer influences.
Suspended storage of the bicycle is recommended with regard to the tyres.
SPRING CHECK
After an extended period of time without use, perform the items described in the chapter First
commissioning/inspections before starting a ride in addition to the regular maintenance work.
Specifically check the functions of the brakes, gearshift, lighting, air pressure and tight fit of the
screws, nuts and quick-clamps. If necessary, specifically also regrease the chain.
