Safekeeping and storing your MERIDA bike
If you regularly look after your MERIDA bike during the
season, you will not need to take any special measures
when storing it for a short time, apart from securing it
against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place.
If you want to store your MERIDA bike for a longer peri-
od of time, e.g. over the winter months, please observe
the following things: Inflated inner tubes tend to gradu-
ally lose air when the bike is not used for a long time.
If your MERIDA bike is left standing on flat tires for an
extended period, this can cause damage to the structure
of the tires. It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the
entire MERIDA bike or to check the tire pressure regular-
ly
(b)
. Clean your MERIDA bike and protect it against
corrosion. Your MERIDA dealer has special cleaning
agents, e.g. spray wax.
Remove the seat post
(c)
and let moisture that may
have entered dry. Spray a little finely atomized oil into
the metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil in a car-
bon seat tube. Shift the gear to the smallest chainwheel
and the smallest sprocket. This relaxes the cables and
the springs.
I
There are hardly any waiting times at your
MERIDA dealer during the winter months. In
addition, many of the MERIDA dealers offer
an annual check-up at a special price. Benefit from the
idle time and ask your MERIDA dealer to do the sched-
uled maintenance work!

and storing of your MERIDA pedelec see the

dling of the rechargeable battery” and the system in-
structions of your drive manufacturer on this MERIDA
CD-ROM.
