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.
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-che-
cking 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. To change the rollers, loosen the
wheel nuts, re- move the old rollers and fit the new rollers (either with new or old ball
bearings) onto the axle. Retightening the wheel nut then creates its self-locking ac-
tion. For safety reasons, we recommend you use self-locking nuts only once.
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-pressure during the manufacturing process. The skate will therefore run
smoothly and quickly only when under load. Due to being a closed system, the bea-
rings 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 screw- driver (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
chas- sis 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 stop- per and the road surface. Any repairs or adjustments to your
roller skates should be done with the help of an adult.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• As is the case with many comparable sports, roller skating is a sport with a rela-
tively 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
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 sur- faces. 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 stee-
rable. 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 bra-
king 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 bet-
ter braking action backwards with the front stoppers. This technique, however, is
recommended only if you have the necessary experience.
