with water and after prolonged use on sandy
terrain (see paragraph “3” - Section “07”).
• After completing 300 to 500 Km
Check the following parts for signs of wear and

them if necessary):
- Chain.

• After completing 3,000 Km
Arrange for the following parts to be checked:
- Hub.
- Steering unit.
- Pedals.
- Gear change and brake cables (the Teon
sheaths must not come into contact with lubri-
cants or oil).
Take your bicycle to the authorized vendor in order to:
- Remove.
- Check.
- Clean.
- Grease (lubricate).

Clean and lubricate the following parts:
- Chain.

es).
It is important to bear in mind that some
lubricants and maintenance products
may not be suitable for use on your bi-
cycle.
Contact your specialized vendor for
more information.
Using unsuitable lubricants or mainte-
nance products may damage or com-
promise the correct operation of your
bicycle.
Ensure that brake shoes, brake disks and
the braking surfaces on the wheel rims
do not come into contact with mainte-
nance products or lubricating oils, as
this would reduce the braking eciency
of your bicycle.
Failure to inspect and repair dam-
ages to your bicycle resulting from
a fall, or failure to carry out such
operations correctly, may result in
hazardous riding conditions, fur-
ther falls and accidents.
Do not hesitate to return your bicy-
cle to the vendor or take it to a spe-
cialized bicycle workshop for the
necessary checks and inspections.
This is the only way to be certain of
identifying and repairing worn and
damaged parts safely.
