Replacement of ball bearings
(Fig. O/P)
Note: The quality of the ball bearings
and their maintenance are crucial
for the smooth running of your inline
skates.
• Remove the roller (16) as described in the
section "Replacing the rollers".
• Position the hexagon key (with handle) with
the extra device over the spacer (17) and
push out the spacer. Remove the bearing (18).
• Press out the other bearing using a hexagon
socket wrench.
• Press in a new bearing. Turn the wheel over,
insert the spacer and then push in a second
new bearing.
• Secure the roller again as described in the
section "Replacing the rollers".
Storage, cleaning
Inline skates are technically-constructed sport
and recreation devices, so use them according
to skill level and skating style. We recommend
that you clean and dry the item thoroughly after
use.
Remove small stones or other objects that may
have got caught on the rollers.
Remove sharp edges that may have occurred
during skating.
Always store your inline skates in a dry place.
• After skating, clean the bearings with
a dry cloth. Dry wet or damp ball
bearings with a clean cloth. Grease
the bearings with a suitable bearing
lubricant from the outside to prevent
external rust.
• Bearings are generally locked and
cannot be greased from the inside.
Worn bearings must be replaced.
Error management
• Rollers or bearings emit a noise
Remove the rollers from the frame, take them
out and clean the bearings with a dry cloth.

• Rollers wear out quickly
Smooth surfaces ensure a longer life-span. Try
harder rollers for harder surfaces and for use
under more difficult conditions.
• Block rollers
Don't tighten the bolt too much.
• Skate pulls to the left or to the right
This is dependent on the user. Replace rollers
which show one-sided wear.
• The brake does not function properly
Worn brakes are dangerous! The braking
effect can be reduced. Check for brake wear
before each journey.
If braking control or effectiveness deteriorates
before the wear limit mark is reached, the
brakes must be replaced. At the latest, replace
the brakes when they reach the wear limit mark.
• Brake problems
Keep a good following distance. The faster
you skate, the bigger your braking ratio.
Ensure that you understand the braking tech-
niques and practice these on a smooth surface
or facility.
• Ankles are often sprained
Ensure that the shoelaces are tight enough.
• Problems with the base of the foot
You are probably not used to this kind of
movement. Control areas which cause prob-
lems and adjust the inline skates afresh. Try to
wear thick socks.
