Maintenance/Care - Prophete 2904 Notice D'utilisation

MAINTENANCE/CARE

• The screws and nuts installed in the trailer and at the hitch must be
checked at regular intervals (at least every 3 months) for tight fit and should
be retightened with the correct strength, as necessary. This is the only way
to permanently guarantee that the trailer will comply with the safety-rele-
DANGER
vant requirements and continue to function correctly.
• Screws and nuts that have been tightened too much can break. Risk of acci-
dent!
• For cleaning, never use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner as this can
cause damage (e.g. damage to varnish, damage caused through rust devel-
WARNING
opment in the bearings, etc.). Instead, clean the trailer by hand with warm
water, a bicycle detergent and a soft cloth.
• Refrain from using aggressive cleaning agents since they could corrode the
varnish, for example. After cleaning, apply commercially available bicycle
preservative and polishing agents, specifically to components at risk
of corrosion.
• To prevent rust development in areas with salty air (proximity to coast), the
trailer should be serviced at shorter intervals and must be treated with pre-
servative products.
• Only carry out repairs, maintenance and adjustment work yourself if you
possess the necessary technical expertise and the appropriate tools. Incor-
rect or inadequate repair, maintenance and adjustment work can lead to
damage to the product and result in malfunctions and accidents.
• During its use, the trailer or its individual components are partially subject
to high stress due to accidents or incorrect handling. Any manner of tears,
scratches or colour changes could indicate a sudden failure of the affected
component. This especially applies to concealed or damaged safety-rele-
vant components such as base frame, tow bar, wheels. Never repair these
defective components but replace them immediately with original spare
parts. Danger of breakage and accident!
• When exchanging components use only original spare parts, because only
these have been coordinated specifically to the product and can
guarantee proper function. This particularly applies to safety-relevant com-
ponents, such as: base frame, tow bar and wheels. If you use third-party
components as replacement, then these could cause damage and lead to
the failure of safety-relevant components. Risk of accident!
