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 maintain or inspect 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 avoided, 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 impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which
can occur while riding, this Manual 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.
IMPORTANT:
This manual contains important safety, performance and service
information. Read it before you take the rst ride on your new bicycle, and
keep it for reference.
Additional safety, performance and service information for specic
components such as suspension or pedals on your bicycle, or for accessories
such as helmets or lights that you purchase, may also be available. Make
sure that your dealer has given you all the manufacturers’ literature that was
included with your bicycle or accessories.
If you have any questions or do not understand something, take
responsibility for your safety and consult with your dealer or the bicycle’s
manufacturer.
