Trouble-shooting
• Rollers or ball bearings are noisy
Dismantle the roller from the frame, remove it,
and clean the ball bearing with a clean cloth.
• Rollers wear quickly
Smooth surfaces extend the life of the rollers.
Try harder rollers for harder surfaces and for
use in difficult conditions.
• Rollers block
Do not fasten the axle bolts too tightly.
• Skate pulls to the left or right
This can depend on the user. Exchange the
rollers that show signs of one-sided wear.
• The brake is not working properly
Change the brake if the angle between the
brake and the ground is greater than 40
degrees, i.e. if the distance between the brake
block and the ground becomes too great
(more than 17mm). Rounded brakes need to
be changes for new blocks.
• Brake problems
Always keep sufficient distance. The faster you
skate the longer your braking distance. Ensure
that you understand the braking techniques
and practise them on a level ground.
• Ankles get twisted frequently
Make sure the laces are tight enough.
• Problems with the foot bed
You may not be accustomed this kind of mo-
vement. Check the areas that are causing you
problems and re-adjust the inline skates.
Try wearing thick socks.
Disposal
Dispose of the article and the packaging materi-
als in accordance with current local regulations.
Packaging materials such as foil bags are not
suitable to be given to children. Keep the packa-
ging materials out of the reach of children.
Important!
New rollers make the inline skates
taller. This changes the distance to the
ground therefore also the braking cha-
racteristics. For this reason, you must
adjust or exchange the brake block.
Changing the ball bearing
(figure O / P)
Note:The quality of the ball bearing and
its maintenance are extremely impor-
tant for the smooth running of the inline
skates.
• Dismantle the roller (14), as described in the
section ‘changing rollers’.
• Position the Allen key (with handle) using the
extra appliance above the spacer (15) and
push the spacer out. Remove the bearing (16).
• Push the other bearing out by pressing on it
with an Allen key.
• Push in a new bearing. Turn the roller around,
insert the spacer, and then push in a second
new bearing.
• Re-attach the roller to the frame, as described
in the paragraph ‘exchanging the rollers’.
Care, storage
Inline skates are pieces of technical sports and
leisure equipment and they therefore become
worn depending on the skill and style of each
skater. We recommend that you clean and dry
the inline skates thoroughly after use.
Remove any small stones and other objects
that may have become trapped in your rollers.
Remove any sharp edges that may have formed
during skating. Always keep the inline skates in
a dry place.
• Clean your ball bearings with a dry
cloth after skating. Wet or damp ball
bearings must be dried using a clean
cloth. Lubricate the bearings from
the outside with a suitable bearing
grease to prevent the formation of
external rust.
• Bearings are usually closed and
cannot be lubricated inside. Worn ball
bearings must be replaced.
