6. Cleaning and maintenance.
Proper maintenance of a GIANT WARP dual suspension bicycle is important to insure years of trouble free
safe riding and enjoyment.
We recommend taking this bike to your authorised Giant dealer for periodic service and inspection of
suspension systems. Parts such as seals, elastomer bumpers and bearings can be adversely affected by use,
dirt and ultraviolet radiation.
The rear shock unit should be returned to an authorised Giant dealer every year for inspection.
DO NOT use high-pressure water or air hoses to clean bike. This can force dirt into areas, which may cause
damage.
DO NOT lubricate any of the pivot points. These are high quality self lubricating Teflon
TM
or similar surfaced
pivots.
See also the manuals of the suppliers of the suspension fork and other parts that come with this Giant bike.
Bicycles and bicycle components are more complex than ever before. It is very important that your dealer
carries out any repair or maintenance, which is not described in this manual. Consult your dealer for help in
determining your maintenance needs.
How much of your bike’s service and maintenance you can do depends on your skill and experience, and
whether you have the special tools required. If you want to learn how to work on your bicycle ask your dealer
for advice on a suitable book and local bicycle repair courses.
Warning.
Many bicycle service and repair tasks require special knowledge and tools. Do not begin any
adjustments or service on your bicycle if you have the slightest doubt about your ability to properly
complete them. Improper adjustment or service may result in damage to the bicycle or in an accident
which can cause serious injury or death.
