BEFORE EVERY RIDE
The BEN-E-BIKE is exposed to constant vibration during use. As a result, excessive wear can occur or it can
loosen screw joints.
•
If in doubt, ask your dealer to show you how to test the BEN-E-BIKE.
•
Check the BEN-E-BIKE before each ride according to the test instructions.
•
Use the BEN-E-BIKE only if you do not notice any damage.
•
Only use the BEN-E-BIKE if there is no excessive wear and all screw joints are fastened properly.
•
Thoroughly check the BEN-E-BIKE for damage and excessive wear before your child uses the bike (see
chapter "Test Instructions").
•
Explain to your child that the BEN-E-BIKE should not be used if it is damaged.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
Check before every ride:
•
that the quick release on the front wheel is closed and the front wheel is properly fixed.
•
whether the tires are in good condition and sufficiently inflated. Let both wheels turn to check the
concentricity.
•
the condition of the frame and components.
•
look at all components and watch out for deformations, cracks and discoloration.
•
Grasp the handlebar, pedals and saddle one at a time and check that all components are properly fixed.
•
the function of the brakes by pulling the brake levers and making sure that the wheel cannot be spun if the
brake is applied. It should be impossible to pull the brake levers completely to the handlebars. Watch out
that there is neither any brake fluid on the brake levers nor callipers.
•
the function of the lighting and bell (if retrofitted).
If the front quick release skewer is not properly tightened and thus the clamping force is too low, the front
wheel may come off. There is then acute danger of an accident!
The quick release skewer basically consists of the lever with eccentric for closing the quick release and the opposite
clamping nut, with which the preload is adjusted.
