• Screw the axle screws (1q) of the inline skate
out of the frame (1p) using the Allen keys.
• Pull out the axle bolts (1q) and remove the
wheel (1o).
• Reinstall the new roller (1o) in the frame (1p)
and fix it with the axle bolts (1q).
After replacing the wheels:
If after the replacement the roller grinds side-
ways or touches the frame at the circumference,
please do not use the roller! After the first few
minutes of skating, make sure that all screws
are still tight and that nothing has detached or
become loose. Retighten the rollers individually
to ensure that they run smoothly and that there is
no noise from the bearings.
Important!
New rollers upgrade the inline skates
overall. This changes the distance to the
ground and therefore also the braking
properties. For this reason, adjust to the
brake pad, or replace the brake pad.
Replacement of the bearings
(Fig. Q/R)
Note:
The quality of the ball bearings and
their maintenance are crucial for the
smooth running of your inline skates
Paramount for your inline skates.
• Remove the roller (1o) as described in the
section "Replacing the rollers".
• Position the hexagon key (with handle) (3)
with the extra device over the spacer (1r) and
push out the spacer (1r). Remove the bearing
(1s).
• Press out the other bearing (1s) by pressing
with an Allen key (3).
• Push in a new bearing (1s). Turn the wheel
(1o) over, insert the spacer (1r) and then press
in a second new bearing (1s).
• Secure the roller (1o) again as described in
the section "Replacing the rollers" (1p).
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 wheels.
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.
