Note:
If the rechargeable batteries of the Di2, the odometer, the cycle computer or the GPS device have reached
the end of their service life, they must not be disposed of with standard household waste. Bring the
rechargeable battery instead to the dealer, where you buy your new one. Ask your STEVENS dealer for
advice.
If you have a certain degree of mechanical skills, experience and suitable tools, such as a torque wrench, you
should be able to do the checks marked × by yourself. If you will come across any defects, take appropriate meas-
ures without delay. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your STEVENS dealer.
Jobs marked
• are best left to your STEVENS dealer.
Note:
For your own safety, bring your STEVENS bicycle to the STEVENS dealer for its first service after 100
to 300 kilometres (60 to 180 miles), 5 to 15 hours of initial use or four to six weeks, at the very latest,
however, after three months.
Service and Maintenance Schedule
You should have your STEVENS bicycle serviced regularly after the initial “break-in” period of use. The schedule
given in the table below is a rough guide for cyclists who ride their bicycle between 1,000 and 2,000 km (600 to
1,200 miles) or 50 to 100 hours of use a year.
If you consistently ride more or if you ride a great deal on poor road surfaces, the service intervals will shorten
accordingly.
