WARNING!
Carefully read, follow and understand the instructions given in this ma-
nual. 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 ser-
vice and repair tasks require specialized knowledge, tools and experience.
General mechanical aptitude may not be sufficient to properly service or re-
pair 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 manufactu-
®
red 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.
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 signifi-
cantly 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. 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 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 suitable for your use, and to determine the
frequency of inspections.
