Material fatigue caused by incorrect tightening of screw
connections.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Do not use the bicycle if you notice any loose screw
connections.
• Screw connections must be properly tightened with a
torque wrench and the correct torque level.
The correct torques must be observed in order to correctly tighten
screw connections. This requires the use of a torque wrench with
a corresponding range of adjustment.
• If you do not have any experience with using torque wrenches
or if you do not own a suitable torque wrench, you should ask
your specialist dealer to check your screw connections.
• Individual bicycle components are labelled with information
about the appropriate torques or with markings showing
insertion depths. You must make sure to observe these
specifications and markings.
