GB User Manual
1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of this PUKY
play bicycle. You have acquired a quality
product, which is certain to bring great joy. This
User Manual contains information regarding
the assembly, safe operation and maintenance
of this new bicycle. Should you have any ques­
tions or problems, please contact your dealer
or contact us via our website: www.puky.de.
2. Parental responsibility
Risks during play are, for the most part,
excluded when used in accordance with the
intended purpose. However, please take into
consideration that unforeseen situations and
hazards may occur as a result of the natural
need for movement and the temperament of
young children and adolescents for which the
manufacturer cannot be held liable. For this
reason, instruct children and adolescents in the
correct bicycle conduct whilst supervising
them. At the same time, also draw their atten­
tion to potential dangers.
3. User notes
The play bicycle is not suitable for sporting
activities (e.g. jumps). The bicycle may only be
used on paved paths and roads without obsta­
cles. The bicycle is not suitable for jumps, tricks
or cross­country use.
When children are using the bicycle, it may not
be ridden in the vicinity of stairs, slopes, steep
terrain, swimming pools or other bodies of wa­
ter. Stairs in the vicinity must be secured in
such a way to prevent children from riding up or
down them on their bicycle.
The play bicycle may only be used in suitable
areas and away from public roads. The bicycle
does not comply with the requirements of
German Road Traffic Regulations (StVZO) and
may not be used on public roads. The relevant
applicable national legal requirements are to be
observed.
The permissible total weight for this bike (bike +
rider + baggage) is 60 kg.
The load that may be placed on the luggage
rack will depend on the version of the rack (see
the embossing on the rack). For road safety
reasons, we do not recommend using the rack
of a play vehicle for carrying loads. Only the
serial installed racks may be used.
It is necessary to wear suitable clothing and
closed shoes. PUKY recommends wearing a
safety helmet (see PUKY Accessories).
The bicycle is not suitable for mounting a child
seat. Pay attention to potential trap hazards
when using and maintaining.
Play bicycle
Mount supporting wheels in a secure and
form­fitting manner to the rear when required
as a learning aid (to maintain balance). The use
of support wheels is only permitted during the
course of a brief learning period, since with
increased practice the support wheels may
apply uncontrolled forces to the frame.
Please pay attention to the reduced effect of
the brakes on the front wheel when it is wet.
Sudden, forceful braking with the rim brake
should be avoided since the behaviour of the
vehicle may suddenly change as a result which
may end in a fall.
On long slopes, long periods of braking with
the back pedal brake are to be avoided (excess
heat to the back pedal brake nave).
The valve caps must be firmly tightened and
kept out of reach of children (risk of choking).
Subsequent additions or modifications to the
bicycle (especially the braking systems) will
change the behaviour of the vehicle and may
pose a risk.
