Important Safety Information
WARNING
•
Do not disassemble or modify the product. This may cause the product
to not operate correctly, and you may suddenly fall and be seriously
injured.
•
Check that the wheels are fastened securely before riding the bicycle.
Otherwise, you may fall and be seriously injured.
•
Before riding the bicycle, you should carefully check your hubs to
make sure that there are no cracks in the axles, and if you find any
unusual conditions, DO NOT use the bicycle. This front hub is designed
for downhill bicycle riding and freeriding. However, depending on the
riding conditions, the hub axle could develop cracks that result in the
failure of the axle. This can lead to an accident that could result in
serious injury or even death.
•
This hub can only be used in combination with a special front fork and
E-THRU. If it is used in combination with any other front fork or
through axle, it may cause the wheel to become detached from the
bicycle while you are riding and result in serious bodily injury.
•
When installing the front wheel to the front suspension fork, always
be sure to follow the directions given in the manual for the front
suspension fork. The securing method and tightening torque for the
front wheel both vary depending on the type of front suspension fork
being used. If the instructions are not followed, the front wheel may
fall out of the front suspension fork and serious injury may occur.
•
Confirm that the axle release lever does not
interfere with the disc brake rotor even when it is
fully engaged. The axle release lever may interfere
with the disc brake rotor if it is on the disc brake
rotor side, which is dangerous. If the axle release
lever/quick release lever interferes with the disc
brake rotor, immediately stop use and contact the
place of purchase or a distributor.
