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.
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 surfaces.
Any other use of this product, such as off-road or on trails is forbidden.
"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.
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 and its components regu-
larly inspected by a qualified mechanic for any cracks, deformation, signs of fatigue
or wear. Disassembly your bicycle components and especially the pedals, is required
during these inspections. If the inspection reveals any deformation, cracks, impact
marks or stress marks, no matter how slight, immediately replace the component;
components that have experienced excessive wear also need immediate replacement.
The frequency of inspection depends on many factors; check with your authorized
representative of Campagnolo S.r.l. 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 suitable for your use,
and to determine the frequency of inspections.
