WARNING!
Carefully read, follow and understand the instructions given in this manual. It is
an essential part of the product, and you should keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
MECHANIC QUALIFICATION - Please be advised that many bicycle service and repair
tasks require specialized knowledge, tools and experience. General mechanical apti-
tude may not be sufficient to properly service or repair your bicycle. If you have any
doubt whatsoever regarding your service/repair ability, please take your bicycle to a
qualified repair shop.
"AN ACCIDENT" - Please note that throughout this manual, reference is made that
"an accident" could occur. Any accident could result in damage to your bicycle, its
components and, more importantly, could cause you or a bystander to sustain severe
personal injury or even death.
INTENDED USE - This Campagnolo
product is designed and manufactured for use
®
only on road racing style bicycles that are ridden only on smooth road or track surfa-
ces. Any other use of this product, such as off-road or on trails is forbidden.
LIFESPAN - WEAR - INSPECTION REQUIREMENT - The lifespan of Campagnolo
®
components depends on many factors, such as rider size and riding conditions.
Impacts, falls, improper use or harsh use in general may compromise the structural
integrity of the components and significantly reduce their lifespan. Some components
are also subject to wear over time. Please have your bicycle regularly inspected by a
qualified mechanic for any cracks, deformation, signs of fatigue or wear (use of pene-
trating fluid or other visual enhancers to locate cracks on parts is recommended). If the
inspection reveals any deformation, cracks, impact marks or stress marks, no matter
how slight, immediately replace the component; components that have experien-
ced excessive wear also need immediate replacement. The frequency of inspection
depends on many factors; check with your authorized Campagnolo
representative
®
to select a schedule that is best for you. If you weigh 82 kg/180 lbs or more, you must
be especially vigilant and have your bicycle inspected more frequently (than someone
weighting less than 82 kg/180 lbs) for any evidence of cracks, deformation, or other
signs of fatigue or stress.
Check with your mechanic to discuss whether the components you selected are suita-
ble for your use, and to determine the frequency of inspections.
