WASHING AND CARING FOR YOUR BIKE
Dirt, salt, and other elements can damage your bike. Regularly clean your Super73
and protect it against corrosion. Use clear water for cleaning and a gentle soap if
necessary to dissolve grease and other residues. Do not spray water directly onto
your Super73.
Instead, use a lightly damp cloth to wipe down any dirt or debris. After drying your
bike, treat surfaces with a care product. Finally, wipe all parts with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not clean your Super73 with a strong water jet or steam jet from
a short distance. The water can get past the seals and get inside the bearings.
Lubricants are then diluted, increasing friction. In the long run, the bearing surfaces
will deteriorate.
MAINTENANCE & COMPONENTS
Before performing any work on your Super73 electronics system, turn off the system
and remove the battery. Involuntary activation of the Super73 system poses a risk of
injury.
The Super73-S has tire sizes of 20” x 4” tires with inner tubes and a rim liner. The
inner tube size for the tires is 20” x 4.25” or 20” x 4”. The tires are designed for
durability and safety for regular cycling activities. However, tires must be checked
before each use for proper inflation and condition.
Proper inflation, good maintenance, and quick replacement will help ensure that the
operational characteristics of your bike will be maintained and dangerous conditions
avoided.
Tires must be inflated using a pump with a Schrader valve tip with a recommended
pressure between 8 - 25 PSI (.24 - .72 bar). Check the condition of the tires and
rims for damage, cracks or deformation. The minimal tightening torque of the wheel
nuts is 6ft/lb (2.69 Nm).
It is essential that the proper air pressure is maintained in the tires all the time. Do
not under-inflate or over-inflate your tires. Low pressure can cause loss of control
and tires that are too inflated can burst. Failure to maintain proper air pressure
rating indicated in the handbook may at any time result in tire and / or wheel failure.
Inflate your tires from a regulated air source with an available manometer. Inflating
your tires with an unregulated air source could over-inflate them, resulting in an
exploded tire. When tire wear becomes obvious or a hole in the tire is found, you
must replace the tires and/or tubes before using the bike, otherwise injury to
operators and/or damage to your bike could occur.
In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If
you find a tire is worn unevenly, have a professional cycle mechanic check the wheel
alignment.
