Maintenance
Important maintenance information
WARNING
If not properly performed, assembly and maintenance work could cause accidents
resulting in death or serious injury.
-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.
Improperly performed assembly and maintenance work could also result in a loss of your
warranty rights (liability for defects)!
WARNING
Risk of accident caused by damaged components.
-Never attempt to disassemble your THM-Clavicula component - only THM employees
are authorised to do this.
-Always read and observe all of the assembly and maintenance instructions in this
manual, as well as those provided in the manuals of other manufacturers whose
products are used on your bicycle (e.g. frame, chainwheels, pedals, etc.).
-Always observe the minimum and maximum values specified – see Specifications , from
page 8.
-Only use suitable, undamaged, high-quality tools.
-When conducting assembly steps that require a specific tightening torque, always use
an appropriate torque wrench that is designed for the tightening torque specified.
NOTICE
Never use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean your bicycle, as the seals of
your bicycle components are not able to withstand the pressure. If such cleaners are used,
it would result in corrosion and material damage.
Never use caustic solvents (such as paint thinners, acetone, nitro compounds, etc.) as
they can attack the surface of your THM components.
Only use commercially available paint care products and water to clean your THM com-
ponents. Spirit or petrol should be used carefully
- when using such products avoid excessive wiping and prolonged exposure times.
