1.6 GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Unless otherwise specified, moving parts, threads, O-rings and sealings must be greased before assembly.
CLEANING
For an optimal result of the maintenance work, every component that will be disassembled must be cleaned.
Only use cleaners and degreasers which do not damage the components. Especially the cleaning of O-rings
and sealings requires mild cleaners. Observe the instructions for use of the respective cleaner.
DT Swiss recommends the following cleaners:
• Motorex Rex
• Motorex Swissclean
• Motorex OPAL 2400, 3000 OPAL, OPAL 5000
Use soap water or similar mild cleaners for external cleaning.
TOOLS
To ensure a damage-free mounting and dismounting of the components, only use the tools which are
mentioned in this manual. Special tools are indicated at the beginning of a chapter in the table "Required
material".
The use of different tools is at the discretion of the user. If components are damaged by the usage of differing
tools, the user is liable.
DT Swiss special tools are precision tools. Damage-free mounting and dismounting of the components can
only be ensured if the tools are working properly and if the condition of the tools are perfect. Always keep the
tools in their original packaging or adequate devices to prevent damage.
1.7 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The statutory regulations shall apply. Whenever possible, avoid creating waste. Waste, especially carbon,
lubricants, cleaners and any other fluids must be disposed in an environmentally compatible manner.
