Nilox J5 - Bolt and Nut Tightening Specifications; Pre-Ride Checks

35
All other inspection, maintenance and repair services must be carried out in a specialized center by a qualified
technician. Always contact the service center for any doubts or uncertainties.
Bolts and nuts tightening
During use, due to vibrations, some screws may become loose. We advise you to periodically check the tightness of
the screws. Replace any damaged or lost parts immediately. The following is a table of tightening torques to be
applied for the assembly of different types of components. For each component, the "minimum-maximum" interval at
which those components are generally kept is reported. The table is purely indicative, because we repeat that
numerous variables contribute to affecting the precise degree of torque to be applied to the various screws, such as
the material used for the screw and / or the type of thread, the sections and the thicknesses of the material on which
you act and of course the material of the parts to be interfaced.
The tightening torques are expressed in Newton-meters; remember that to correctly carry out this operation, a torque
wrench is required, which detaches when the desired torque is reached.

Running-in period
Your bicycle will be more efficient and will remain in optimal conditions for a long time with a break-in period before
continuous and intensive use.
Brake or gear cables, spokes and other mechanical parts may become loose in the very first period of use and a
change to the service center may be required for final adjustment.
We suggest after 30/35 hours of use and in any case after the first 30 days, to have the electric bicycle checked in a
service center.
In any case, for any problem or doubt that you cannot solve on your own, always contact the specialized technical
assistance center and do not use the bicycle in the event of real or presumed anomalies.
Before each use
Check all mechanical parts.
After each long or difficult ride on unpaved terrain, in case of exposure to water or sand and in any case
every 150 km
• Clean the bicycle.
• Lubricate the chain, the freewheel, the gearbox and then remove the excess oil. You can ask your trusted
technician for advice on the best lubricants on the market and the frequency of maintenance.
