INSPECTION AND SERVICE
DANGER
RISK OF ACCIDENT DUE TO OVERDUE SERVICE AND INSPECTION!
When neglecting inspection and servicing, worn components may cause accidents.
• The service and inspection works and intervals mentioned in this user manual must be observed.
• The first inspection after 1000 km must be carried out by the steelworks service.
• If inspection and service tasks are not carried out at the recommended intervals, the warranty will become void.
Only regular service and care will ensure that all parts of the bike function properly. You should carry out easy
cleaning, care and inspection tasks yourself regularly (see "3. Before and after your ride" on page 9). The
necessary service and inspection works must be carried out by steelworks or by a person with the necessary
qualifications, depending on the service interval.
All information on inspection and service can also be found at www.steelworks.bike/en/service.
4.1 INSPECTION AFTER THE FIRST 1000 KM
The first inspection of the bike must be carried out by the steelworks service after 1000 km. All necessary activities
are carried out to ensure proper functioning. The first inspection is mandatory to maintain the warranty.
The first inspection is free of charge for you. Only the shipping to the steelworks service must be organized and paid
by you. Pack the bike in the original shipping box, see also "5. Bike transport and storage" on page 14.
4.2 SERVICING
