6. Maintenance and care
If the handbrake lever can be pulled more than
half­way to the handlebar before the braking
effect takes place, the brake must be adjusted.
The braking surfaces must be clean, grease­
free and the brake pads must be parallel to one
another.
Worn pads must be replaced immediately!
When replacing, make sure you use original
pads or ensure that they match the material of
the rim at least (e.g. see the label: "Alloy / Alu"
for aluminium rims).
Caution in the event of rim wear
Regularly check the state of the rims and pay
special attention to the wear groove which sur­
rounds the rim. Consult your specialist work­
shop in good time (when the groove is almost
worn away). Breakage and accident risks!
Pay special attention to ensure that the
handlebar and saddle do not rotate!
Check the chain tension and adjust as neces­
sary (if required, by loosening the rear wheel,
aligning and tightening again).
Pay attention to the correct air pressure (the
prescribed pressure is indicated on the sides of
the tyres). Do not repair damaged or deformed
parts. Damaged or deformed parts must be
replaced. Original replacement parts can be
obtained from your PUKY dealer. Spare
parts: Tyres (including tubes), rims, brake ca­
ble, brake pads, chain, chain rings, handle cov­
ers.
All maintenance work requires specialist knowl­
edge and you should consult your dealer for
advice. Interested children may 'supervise' but
should not do the work themselves.
Cleanliness and corrosion protection
All painted and metallic surfaces can be
cleaned and protected using ordinary car care
products. Only use environmentally friendly
products and never use any aggressive deter­
gents. Regularly oil the chain (chain or univer­
sal oil) and clean when necessary.
The flanks of the rims (braking surfaces)
must be grease-free!
The vehicle is to be protected from winter salt
and long periods of storage in damp spaces
(e.g. garage) are to be avoided. If you do store
the bicycle in a damp environment, protect the
surfaces of unpainted metal parts (screws, nuts
etc.) with a suitable surface seal (e.g. spray
wax).
Hub and ball bearing should be checked from
time to time by a specialist, adjusted and lubri­
cated as required. The vehicle is to be protected
from winter salt and long periods of storage in
damp spaces (e.g. garage) are to be avoided.
Do not use a pressure washer/power washer to
clean the vehicle.
7. Statutory warranty
Statutory warranty covers defects. Damage
resulting from improper use, use of force, lack
of maintenance, or normal wear and tear, is
excluded from such a statutory defect warranty.
Enjoy your travels!
