GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for
that risk, so you need to know — and to practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance.
Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to ma intain or i nspect your
bicycle and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
•The combination of the
safety alert symbol and the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
•The combination of the
safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not av
oided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against
unsafe practices.
•The word CAUTION used
without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious
damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall”. Because any fall can result in serious injury or even
death, we
do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is i mpossible to anticip ate ev ery situation or cond ition
which can occu r while ridi ng, this Manu al makes no
representation about the safe use of the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which
cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
