Trouble-shooting
• Rollers or ball bearings are noisy
Dismantle the roller from the frame, remove
it, and clean the ball bearing with a clean
cloth.
• Rollers wear quickly
Smooth surfaces extend the life of the rollers.
Try harder rollers for harder surfaces and for
use in difficult conditions.
• Rollers block
Do not fasten the axle bolts too tightly.
• Skate pulls to the left or right
This can depend on the user. Exchange the
rollers that show signs of one-sided wear.
• The brake is not working properly
Change the brake if the angle between
the brake and the ground is greater than 40
degrees, i.e. if the distance between the
brake block and the ground becomes too
great (more than 17mm). Rounded brakes
need to be changes for new blocks.
• Brake problems
Always keep sufficient distance. The faster
you skate the longer your braking distance.
Ensure that you understand the braking
techniques and practise them on a level
ground.
• Ankles get twisted frequently
Make sure the laces are tight enough.
• Problems with the foot bed
You may not be accustomed this kind of
movement. Check the areas that are causing
you problems and re-adjust the inline skates.
Try wearing thick socks.
Disposal
Dispose of the article and the packaging materi-
als in accordance with current local regulations.
Packaging materials such as foil bags are not
suitable to be given to children. Keep the packa-
ging materials out of the reach of children.
Changing the ball bearing
(figure N / O)
Note:
The quality of the ball bearing and its
maintenance are extremely important
for the smooth running of the inline
skates.
• Dismantle the roller (1), as described in the
section ‘changing rollers’.
• Position the Allen key (with handle) using the
extra appliance above the spacer (2) and
push the spacer out. Remove the bearing (3).
• Push the other bearing out by pressing on it
with an Allen key.
• Push in a new bearing. Turn the roller
around, insert the spacer, and then push in
a second new bearing.
• Re-attach the roller to the frame, as des-
cribed in the paragraph ‘exchanging the
rollers’.
Care, storage
Inline skates are pieces of technical sports and
leisure equipment and they therefore become
worn depending on the skill and style of each
skater. We recommend that you clean and dry
the inline skates thoroughly after use.
Remove any small stones and other objects
that may have become trapped in your rollers.
Remove any sharp edges that may have formed
during skating. Always keep the inline skates in
a dry place.
• Clean your ball bearings with a dry
cloth after skating. Wet or damp ball
bearings must be dried using a clean
cloth. Lubricate the bearings from
the outside with a suitable bearing
grease to prevent the formation of
external rust.
• Bearings are usually closed and
cannot be lubricated inside. Worn
ball bearings must be replaced.
