SAFETY
Intended use
Fundamental safety precaution
Always remember that riding a bicycle involves potential danger for the rider and other road users,
as well as for the bicycle and its components. Even if protective equipment and safety devices are
used, accidents resulting in death or serious injury can still occur.
You should therefore use your common sense and avoid any unreasonable behaviour!
Assembly & Maintenance
The THM stem is approved for a total weight (bike+rider+luggage) up to 110 kg (242 lbs.) and can
be used on road bikes. The stem must only be used with steer tubes of 28.6±0,1 mm (1 1/8 inch)
diameter.
Risk of accident caused by assembly and maintenance work which has not been conducted in a
professional manner.
−
Do not overestimate your technical ability. All assembly and maintenance work should
be performed by a specialist workshop for bicycles. This is the only way to ensure the
work is conducted in a professional manner.
−
Always observe all the specified tightening torques for the screw connections.
−
Only ever use original THM components which are available from your specialist dealer
or directly from THM.
−
Never make any modifications to your THM components.
−
Check your THM components before each journey to ensure the surfaces are
completely undamaged. Send us your THM components for inspection before further
use if damage is visible (cracks, fractures, deformations, deep scratches in the
paintwork which extend into the carbon structure, large abrasions, etc.) or if you are in
any doubt about their functionality.
−
Always ensure your bicycle is maintained in a flawless condition. Care and maintenance
will prolong the service life of your bicycle and its components and improve your
personal safety.
