SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Please read these instructions carefully. The instructions are an integral component of the product. Therefore, please store them and the packaging carefully in case questions arise in the future. Please
always include these instructions when handing on the product to a third party.
- This product must be assembled by an adult.
- This product is not designed for commercial use.
- The use of the product requires certain capabilities and skills. Always adjust according to the age of the user and use for the purpose it has been designed for.
- Your skateboard corresponds to the highest quality standards. All materials have been carefully chosen and assembled using quality assured measures so that the product can have a wide spectrum of
uses. However we would also like to point out that inexperienced use of the skateboard and improper handling can quickly lead to excessive wear, damage to the product, or injuries. Therefore we cannot
take responsibility for damages arising from such actions.
- Beginners should practice their skateboarding with a friend or their parents.
- Children under 8 years of age should always be supervised when skateboarding.
- When skateboarding safety always has precedence over speed! Never travel downhill quicker than you could run if you jumped off!
- Running on a skateboard or jumping on one can be dangerous!
- A surface must be chosen which makes it possible for skateboarding skills to be improved - not pavements or streets where serious accidents could happen to skateboarders or others.
- Skateboarding on wet or uneven surfaces should be avoided.
- It takes time to learn anything, new tricks also. If you lose your balance you should not wait until you fall off, but should jump off and start again. Initially you should only descend on moderate
slopes. After that you should only use the skateboard on slopes where your speed is kept at a level where you could jump off the board without falling.
- The worst injuries are fractures so you should first learn how to fall without a skateboard (using a rolling motion if possible).
- Before jumping off the skateboard you should watch out for where it might roll - it could injure others.
- Never go skateboarding without hand, wrist, knee and elbow guards and a helmet!
- Wear sports shoes with end-to-end anti-slip soles when skateboarding! Make sure that the soles are dry.
- Use the skateboard on surfaces suitable for skateboarding. They should be flat, clean, dry and as free from traffic as possible.
- Always be considerate of other road users and please note that a skateboard is not a vehicle in the sense of road traffic regulations. Don‘t use it in traffic.
- Before you begin, check the roller wheels and axles and connecting elements. They should all be tightened properly.
- Adjust your speed in accordance with your skateboarding abilities.
- Do not carry out any changes to the skateboard which would affect its safety. The self-locking effects of self-securing nuts and the paintwork can be reduced after re peated loosening and tightening of
the fastening elements.
- Regular checks, maintenance and servicing will increase the safety and lifespan of your skateboard.
- Look for splits and cracks on the board! Remove them, if required. This is for your safety.
- Join a club in your area and learn more. Prove you are a good skateboarder and care about yourself and others.
USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
SKATEBOARDING TECHNIQUES
1. STARTING POSITION
As an inexperienced skateboarder you should initially place a forward-facing foot level with the front wheels. Put a little weight on the foot and gently bend your knee. The second foot is then
placed at a right angle on the board, over the rear axle. Take care that it is always the front foot you put your weight on, i.e. the weight is always shifted forwards. Take care to alight towards the
front as a basic principle. After a few attempts you will notice that you get an improved feel for the skateboard. By tightening and loosening the king pin safety nut on the bottom of the skate-
board and the related change of pressure on the steering buffer, you can influence the movement radius of the skateboard.
2. FIRST ATTEMPT AT RIDING ON THE SKATEBOARD
Try to tilt the board right and left along the longitudinal axis by shifting your weight. This shifting of weight comes from the knee and ankle joints, while the upper body stays upright. Use your
arms to keep your balance. To get going with the skateboard, firstly place one foot on the board, as described in the starting position section. Push off repeatedly with the other foot. As soon as
your skateboard gathers sufficient momentum, put your second foot on the rear part of the board. Take care to never place a foot at the end of the board. Beginners should initially stay off sloping
ground.
3. BRAKING
3.1 Braking when travelling slowly
Firstly place your back foot on the ground near the board and use it to brake gradually. The front foot stays on the board until the braking is finished.
3.2 Braking when travelling more quickly
This is a similar process to braking when travelling slowly. However after the first braking movement with the back foot the front foot is also taken off the board. It is important to stop the
skateboard immediately after jumping off it. An uncontrolled skateboard that continues to run on constitutes a general danger.
CORNERING TECHNIQUE
Skateboards can generally be steered by shifting your body weight. To set your preferred steering flexibility, either loosen the kingpin or tighten it. The kingpin is the bolt that runs vertically
through the axles. Depending on the the positioning of the locking nut on the end of the kingpin, the bushing set between the aluminum and the kingpin will either be cinched tightly (tighter
trucks) or loosely (looser trucks). Make sure you don‘t tighten the locking nut too tightly on the kingpin! The thread of the safety nut must always fit completely on the thread of the king pin. If a
large amount of the thread remains after piecing them together, it should be shortened by an expert or a new buffer must be fitted in. The correct steering setting should be checked before every
use. Damaged or cracked buffers must be replaced! Firstly note the starting position. Now bend your knee somewhat lower and shift your weight to the side of the board on which you want to take
the corner. To take a right-hand corner you must shift your weight to the right, to take a left-hand corner you must shift your weight to the left. Initially practice taking a left-hander and then a
right-hander. Following this, try to combine a right-hander with a left-hander. The size of the radius of the turn will depend on how strongly you have exerted lateral pressure. The more pressure
you exert, the tighter your cornering will be.
MAINTENANCE
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 structu-
ral changes. For your own safety, please use original spare parts only. Please contact your local dealer here for. If parts become damaged or if sharp edges or corners should develop, the product
may not be used any more.
STORAGE
Store the product in a safe place where it is protected from the elements, cannot be damaged, and cannot injure anyone. The board should be protected in particular from UV rays, so store in a dark
place to extend the board‘s useful life. But we generally recommend changing out the board after 5 years of use.
ROLLER WHEEL AND BEARING REPLACEMENT
Regular maintenance of the skateboard contributes in keeping it safe! It is therefore necessary to regularly check that all parts are functioning perfectly. Roller wheels and bearings the available
as accessories and can be replaced independent of each other when they have worn out. While changing the wheels, keep in mind that the bearing needs to be removed from the old wheels and
attached to the new ones. To do this, unfasten the axle nuts, remove the wheel and press out the bearing from the wheel using a suitable tool. Then insert the bearing into the new roller wheels
and position on the axle again. Now fasten the axle nuts. (Also see the Safety instructions!). The skateboard has industrial bearings that have been filled with grease under high pressure. This is
the reason why the roller wheels function easily and quickly only under load. The bearings also need to be replaced if they stop functioning properly. But they must never be separated!
