3. Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors are secure.
4. To clean, wipe the frame with a damp cloth soaked in a mild non-corrosive detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth.
5. Store under shelter; avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials. If exposed to rain, dry your bicycle afterwards and apply
anti-rust treatment to chain and other unpainted steel surfaces.
6. Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe or spray all
unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment. Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty so special care should be given to extend the
life of your bike when used in coastal areas or areas with salty air or water.
7. If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water, they should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent accelerated
bearing deterioration.
8. If the paint has become scratched or chipped in the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventa
tive measure.
9. Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and adjust as required.
