Never clean your DOUZE G4 by means of a
high-pressure water jet, as this risks damaging
the bike, particularly the motor components. This
type of damage invalidates the warranty.
Your cargo bike can be cleaned with soapy water and
a soft cloth, then rinsed with clear water.
Cleaning and lubrication
We advise you to clean your G4 regularly, above all if you use it daily. Dust
and all those particles present on the road are very abrasive and could
prematurely wear out the components of your cargo bike. This is parti-
cularly applicable to mechanical, moving parts. The entire frame can be
cleaned with soapy water and a soft cloth, then rinsed with clear water.
Brake discs must be cleaned with a suitable product, to maintain optimal
braking under all circumstances. The transmission components must be
cleaned by means of a brush and a suitable product, then lubricated,
while ensuring the brake components are protected. The locks of the
padlock and the Hard Top must be lubricated regularly by means of a
suitable product, so that key insertion and functioning remain optimal.
Maintenance
This manual has not been designed to be a maintenance or repair
guide. Please refer to your Retailer or a DOUZE Cycles Technical Centre
in order to carry out such work. Your DOUZE Cycles Technical Centre
will also be able to advise you on the use of DOUZE Cycles’ products
and provide you with all the necessary information on maintenance and
the repair of your G4 cargo bike.
Cleaning the bike
Maintaining your DOUZE G4 cargo bike in a proper condition starts
with regular cleaning of the various parts which compose it. Cleaning
is even more important during the winter season, during snowy condi-
tions, if salt has been spread over the road.
Even though your G4 works well in all climatic condi-
tions, except for the most extreme (storms, black ice,
hail, etc.), ensure to shelter it as much as possible
from bad weather, in order to conserve the frame
and the various components.
The rain cover accessory available for your G4 pro-
vides protection from bad weather, if you keep it
outdoors.
