When reading this user manual, you will note various important symbols
and warnings, which are explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Many of the
Warnings 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.
CAUTION: 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 avoided, could result in
serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
INFO: This symbol alerts the reader to information which is
particularly important.
GREASE: This symbol means that high quality grease should
be applied as illustrated.
CARBON FRICTION PASTE: This symbol means that carbon
friction paste should be applied as illustrated to increase
friction.
TORQUE: This symbol highlights the correct torque value
for a specific bolt. In order to achieve the specified torque
value, a quality torque wrench must be used.
TECH TIP: Tech Tips are useful tips and tricks regarding
installation and use.
