DANGER!
As part of this regular maintenance, you
should check tire pressure, light and brake
functions and examine the bike for damage.
PROTECTING THE FINISH
After the E-bike is dried, you should protect
the paint and metallic surfaces with a hard
wax. Also protect spokes, hubs bolts and
nuts, etc. with a wax film. Polish the waxed
surfaces with a soft cloth so that they shine
and repel water.
CARING FOR ANODIZED SURFACES
The aluminum parts of your Riese & Müller
E-bike are protected by a special anodizing
process during which an electrochemical pro
-
cess generates a special protective layer. This
layer is very hard and therefore relatively
resistant to scratches. Despite the positive
attributes the anodized coating requires
care. Clean with water and if necessary use
mild detergents to dissolve grease. Dry and
apply a special anodized surface treatment
(available from your local dealer) with a soft
cloth which helps remove paint, tar and oil
residue. Lastly rub the parts with a soft,
clean cloth to remove excess treatment and
repel dust.
ATTENTION!
While cleaning look for cracks,
scratches, dints, or discolorations.
If in doubt, contact your local
dealer and let them replace
damaged components and touch
up damaged paint.
TIP!
Protect all places where cables
may rub the frame.
TIP!
After cleaning it is recommended
to lubricate the chain if necessary
(see page 38).
Ensure no lubricant or wax
contaminates the braking
surfaces of the disc brakes!
Imminent brake failure could
cause an accident!
