SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Always use complete safety gear, since like many comparable sports,
inline skating is a sport with relatively high risk of injury. Always wear a hand
and wrist guard, knee and elbow pads and reflecting clothes and a helmet while
skating. However, please remember that wearing complete safety gear cannot
guarantee 100% protection. HUDORA also provides protectors, helmets and
reflecting products. For more information, visit our http://www.hudora.de/.
Use the skates only on suitable surfaces that are smooth, clean, dry and as
free from traffic as possible. Always give due consideration to other traffic
and remember that there are restrictions for inline skaters in the Road Traffic
Ordinance.
Do not make any changes in the inline skates that may compromise safety. The
self-locking effect of self-securing nuts and axles can reduce due to frequent
loosening and tightening of the connecting links. Remove sharp edges resulting
from usage immediately. Regular inspections, maintenance, and servicing
increase the safety and life of your skates.
Before you begin, always check that all connecting links and locking pieces are
properly fastened and whether the stopper still has enough material and has not
worn out!
INSTRUCTIONS ON USE
SKATING TECHNIQUE
Every beginning is difficult and the most accidents take place for the ‘beginners’
within the first ten minutes. Be very careful during this phase!
Take a few steps with toes pointing forwards because this how you will push off
from the ground. Balance on one foot. Better skills at doing this will make skating
and braking easier later. Be careful – inline skates can reach unexpected speeds.
Now practice on clean, level tarmac. Stand straight on your skates with your feet
parallel and about six inches apart. Slowly raise your arms forward and bend your
knees till your shin is in contact with the boot. Let your body weight pass through
the balls of your feet. Beginners often mistakenly stand straight, keeping knees
too stiff and putting their weight on the heels.
Avoid all streets that are steep, have traffic on them or have difficult surfaces.
Select the difficulty of the roads and surfaces according to your level of expertise.
Moisture, sand and dirt damage the wheels and bearings.
The next step to learn is turning. Get comfortable with the feel of the edge by
tilting the skates outwards and inwards while you are still standing. Use your hip
and knees to do this. Now try to do this while you are skating. You will experience
a greater pressure on the inside of your foot while turning, which is why you must
always lean a little inwards.
BRAKING TECHNIQUE
Learn how to brake. If you want to stand you can just roll to a halt. Pros also
do that. You can of course brake with stoppers as well: lift your right foot’s toes
slightly so that the stopper touches the ground at the back. The more pressure you
put, the quicker you will decrease the speed. Avoid full brakes because then you
may not have complete control. Always skate with foresight!
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Use a dry or damp cloth only to clean the product; do not use special cleaning
agents! Check the product for damage or traces of wear and tear before and after
each use. Do not make any structural changes. For your own safety, please use
original spare parts only. These can be sourced from HUDORA. If parts become
damaged or if sharp edges or corners should develop, the product may not be
used any more. If in any doubt, please contact our service team (http://www.
hudora.de/service/). Store the product in a safe place where it is protected from
the elements, cannot be damaged, and cannot injure anyone.
CHANGING WHEELS AND BEARINGS (FIG. 1)
Wheels and bearings are available as accessories and can be changed independent
of each other if they wear out or get damaged. While changing the wheels, keep
in mind that bearing needs to be removed from the old wheels and attached to
the new ones. Refer to Illustration 1 for better understanding and remember to
properly fasten the axle screw and secure with locking varnish. Your inline skates
have precision bearings that have been filled with lubricant under high pressure
at the production plant. This is why your skates move easily and quickly with
just a little pressure while skating. Like the wheels, the bearings also need to be
replaced when they stop working properly. However, never dismantle them!
CHANGING THE STOPPER (FIG. 2)
Frequent braking or complete braking wear out the stoppers. If the stopper has
lowered from its position, it needs to be replaced. Loosen the stopper from the
stopper holder with the key and remove it. Position the new stopper carefully and
retighten the Allen screw. The free space between the lower edge of the stopper
and the skating surface must be between 7-17 mm. As far as possible, let an
experienced person replace the stopper.
