Basic cleaning
Remove battery and display before basic cleaning.
8.1.2.1
Cleaning the frame
Soak the dirt stains on the frame with dish-washing
detergent if the dirt is thick and ingrained.
After leaving it to soak for a time, remove the dirt
and mud with a sponge, brush and toothbrush.
Use a watering can or your hand to rinse the frame
to finish off.
Service the frame after cleaning.
Crash caused by brake failure
The braking effect may be unusually weak temporarily
after cleaning, servicing or repairing the bicycle. Such
damage may cause you to fall from the bicycle and
injure yourself.
Never apply care products or oil to the brake discs
or brake linings, or the braking surfaces on the rims.
After cleaning, servicing or repair, carry out a few
test brake applications.
Water may enter into the inside of the bearings if you
use a steam jet. The lubricant inside is diluted, the
friction increases and, as a result, the bearings are
destroyed in the long term.
Never clean the bicycle with a steam jet.
Greased parts, e.g. the seat post, the handlebars or
the stem, may no longer be safely and reliably
clamped.
Never apply grease or oil to the clamping areas.
