the old chain lubricant in an appropriate manner
at a suitable disposal point.

Environmental protection tips
Austria/Germany and all countries
subject to EU law use partially stand-
ardized conditions regarding warran-
ty/liability for material defects. Please inform
yourself about the applicable national regula-
tions in your specic country.
Liability for material defects (warranty)
Under EU law, the seller accepts liability for ma-
terial defects for at least two years after the date
of sale. This also covers defects which already
existed at the time of sale/change of ownership.
In fact, if material defects occur within the rst
six months, the assumption is made that these
already existed at the time of sale.
One precondition for the seller assuming this
liability is that the product‘s use and mainte-
nance was in line with all conditions stipulated.
These are outlined in the pages of this operating
manual and in the supplied instructions from the
component manufacturers.
In most cases, the customer can rst request
subsequent fullment.
If repair fails conclusively, which is the assump-
tion after two attempts, the customer is entitled to
abatement or cancellation of the contract.
The liability for material defaults does not
cover normal wear of the frame during with ap-
propriate use. Components of the drive and the
braking facilities as well as tyres, lights and con-
tact areas between the rider and the bicycle are
subject to wear due to use.
