G E N E R A L W A R N I N G
Like any sport, cycling involves risk of injury
and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle,
you assume the responsibility for that risk,
so you need to know - and to practice - the
rules of safe and responsible riding and of
proper use and maintenance. Proper use and
maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of
injury. This manual contains many
“warnings”
and
“cautions”
concerning the consequences
of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle
and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
•
The combination of the safety
alert symbol (
!
) and the
word
“warning”
indicates a
potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could
result in serious injury or
death.
•
The combination of the safety
alert symbol (
!
) and the
word
“caution”
indicates a
potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate
injury, or is an alert against
unsafe practices.
•
The word
“caution”
used
without the safety alert symbol
(
!
) indicates a situation which,
if not voided, could result in
serious damage to the bicycle
or the voiding of your warranty.
•
Many of the warnings and
cautions say,
“you may lose
control and fall”
, because
any fall can result in serious
injury or even death, we do
not always repeat the warning
of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to
anticipate every situation or
condition which can occur
while riding, this manual
makes no representation
