recommend that maintenance and assembly work on your bike is carried out by an
authorised bicycle workshop.

You must study these carefully and follow the directions before riding your bike.

WARNING:
Alloy handlebars should be replaced at least once a year because they can
snap suddenly with no warning if submitted to fatigue stress for a prolonged period of
time.
WARNING: As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to wear and
high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue
in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly
fail possibly causing injuries to rider. Any form of crack, scratches or change of colour
in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it
should be replaced. When replacing any components, especially the safety-critical ones,
genuine spare parts complying with your bike specifications are to be used only.
NOTE FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS: As a parent or guardian, you are responsible
for the safety of the child under your supervision. This, amongst other things, includes
making sure that the bicycle is properly fitted, adjusted, and that it is in good condition.
Be sure that you and the child have learned and understand how to operate the bicycle
safely in the environment that you plan to ride.
