SAFETY TIPS
DO NOT USE YOUR BICYCLE IF IT DOES NOT PASS THIS TEST – CORRECT ANY
FAULTY SITUATIONS BEFORE USING THE BICYCLE.
• Please note that failure to correctly carry out the maintenance and repair pro-
cedures indicated in this manual or to follow the instructions in this manual could
result in an accident.
• Never make any modifications to any Campagnolo
®
product.
• Ensure that the brake cables and brake block are in good condition.
• Ensure correct operation of the brakes before riding.
• If you brake too hard with the front brake the wheel could lock up causing a
forward fall with potentially serious injuries.
• Any bent or damaged parts following impact or accidents must be replaced with
original Campagnolo
®
parts.
• Wear close fitting and highly visible clothing (fluorescent colours or other bright
colours / alternatively light colours).
• Avoid cycling at night because it is difficult for others to see you and obstacles on
the road are difficult to distinguish. If you use the bicycle at night, fit it with suitable
lights and reflectors which are securely mounted and clean.
• Never use a bicycle or component with which you are not completely familiar or
the use and maintenance operations of which are unknown. Second hand parts
may have been used incorrectly or may be ruined, therefore they could break unex-
pectedly, causing an accident.
• If the bicycle is used in the wet remember that the braking power and tyre grip
decrease significantly, making it more difficult to control. Therefore pay closer
attention when riding on wet surfaces in order to prevent possible accidents.
• Learn and observe local cycling rules and all the road signs during your ride.
• Always wear a correctly fastened protective helmet and ensure that it is approved
for use in your country.
