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 struc-
tural 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.
Wear and tear calls for regular maintenance and servicing. Worn-out stoppers, wheels, steering
buffers or bearings are easily replaced. You should not undertake any changes to your roller skates
as the safety may be compromised. The self-checking effect of the self-securing nuts or axes is
reduced after repeated loosening and tightening of the links. Sharp edges resulting from usage
should be removed as soon as possible. Regular checks, maintenance and servicing increase the
safety and the life span of your roller skates.
CHANGING THE ROLLERS
Rollers are available as accessories. Please remember to remove the bearings from the old rollers
and reuse them on the new ones. Change the rollers by loosening the wheel nuts, removing the old
rollers and putting the new rollers (either with new ball bearings or with their old ball bearings) on
the axle and screwing on the wheel nut again, ensuring that the self-locking ring of the wheel nut
is fully seated on the axle. Do not damage the self-locking protection of the wheel nut. For safety
reasons, we recommend the use of self-locking nuts.
STEERING ADJUSTMENT
The tractability of the roller skates can be adjusted by loosening and tightening the center bolts.
Warning: Do not over loosen the center bolts or else there’s a risk that the wheels may come into
contact with the chassis. After making an adjustment, it is best to go on a few trial runs first.
ROLLER BEARINGS
Your roller skates are fitted with precision bearings which are filled with grease under high-pres-
sure during the manufacturing process. The skate will therefore run smoothly and quickly only
when under load. Due to being a closed system, the bearings do not have to be re-greased.
Clean the ball bearings with a dry cloth as and when required. Ball bearings on the skate must be
rubbed with a dry cloth immediately if they get wet or damp. Worn ball bearings must be replaced.
To do this, loosen the roller from the chassis and remove the ball bearing using a screwdriver (be
careful not to damage the spacer sleeve inserted within the rollers between the two ball bearings).
At the end of the cleaning routine or when replacing ball bearings, first push a ball bearing into the
roller and rotate the roller and insert the distance sleeve. Then push the second ball bearing into
the roller too.
REPLACING AND/OR ADJUSTING THE STOPPER
Stoppers will wear over time. If a stopper is completely worn out, loosen it from the chassis using
the keys. Correctly insert the new stopper. Do not damage the self-locking action of the stopper
screw. For safety reasons, we recommend you use self-locking nuts only once. There must be a
clearance of at least 10 mm between the bottom edge of the stopper and the road surface. Any
repairs or adjustments to your roller skates should be done with the help of an adult.
DISPOSAL ADVICE

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• As is the case with many comparable sports, roller skating is a sport with a relatively high risk
of physical injury. As a matter of principle, you should wear full protective equipment.
• Never use the product without a helmet and hand/wrist, elbow and knee pads.
• We recommend the use of reflective materials. We must point out, however, that even full
protective equipment cannot provide 100% protection.
• Always be alert and careful when roller skating.
• Use your skates only on suitable surfaces that are smooth, clean, dry and largely free of other
road users.
• Always respect other road users and remember that the Road Traffic Act imposes restrictions
for roller skaters.
• Before you start: Check all connections and locking parts for correct fit and check the steering
setting.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
SIZE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 1-3)
• The size mark on the inside of the roller skate indicates the set shoe size. To adjust the shoe
size, push the wing lever on the rear of the roller skate into a horizontal position so that it can
rotate easily. (Fig. 1)
• Turning the wing lever counterclockwise increases the shoe size, clockwise decreases it. Since
the size adjustment takes place inside the toe cap of the shoe, it is only visible from the outside
via the indicator in the size mark. This moves accordingly. (Fig. 2)
• As soon as the desired shoe size is reached, the wing lever must be folded up again to fix the
selection. (Fig. 3) If the roller skates are used with the lever not fixed, the shoe size may chan-
ge while skating - risk of injury!
DRIVING METHODS
Adapt your speed to your skills. Before you adopt an aggressive skating style, learn how to glide,
corner and brake. Avoid steep terrain and also slippery, dusty, stony and wet surfaces. Keep your
body weight forwards.
TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
1. Practise certain important skills on an old carpet at home before progressing to tarmac. Accept
help and advice from others. Walk a few steps on the front stopper, in order to familiarise
yourself with this part of your roller skates that may feel strange to your feet. The better you
master this step, the easier you will find it later on to skate and brake.
2. Now practise on clean, even tarmac. Stand upright on your roller skates with your feet about a
hand’s width apart. Your bodyweight should be over the balls of your feet. Novice skaters often
make the mistake of standing upright with their knees stiff and their weight over the heels.
3. Avoid steep descents, busy roads and difficult terrain. Adapt your speed to the descent and the
terrain, keeping your level of expertise in mind.
4. Next, you should learn how to corner. Your skate is built so that the axles are steerable. Shift
your weight to one side and your skates will follow in this direction. Use your hip and your knee.
Now try the same technique as you skate. Learn how to brake.
5. Starting off is always difficult and most of a novice’s accidents happen in the first ten minutes.
You should exercise extreme caution during this early learning phase!
FRONT-STOP
Brake blocks are mounted to the front of both skates. These grind to produce a braking effect.
Practise this technique over and over again, so that you can stop in any situation.
DISCO-STOP
Experienced skaters pirouette shortly before braking. This helps them achieve a better braking
action backwards with the front stoppers. This technique, however, is recommended only if you
have the necessary experience.
