DANGER

!

In this manual, the minimal torques of tightening are indicated in Nm. Do not trust your 

feeling: even if it looks well fixed, it may not be the case. Only a torque wrench guarantees the 

exact tightening of the screws. To do this, always use this type of key and respect the torques 

indicated in this manual. Too little or too tight screws can cause fractures. They can cause falls 

and serious injuries.

Super73 reserves the right to make changes at any time without prior notice, or obligation.
