Cleaning
Regular washing and cleaning of your Emu bike
and its components is recommended in order to
lengthen the life of your Emu bike. To prevent
corrosion and the dilution of lubricants, remove
mud and dirt by washing with as little water as
possible and then immediately dry your Emu
bike. Suitable cleaning materials are supplied by
specialist cycle suppliers.
Do not use high-pressure washers to clean your
bike. These are likely to lead to water penetrating the protective seals on your bike
increasing the likelihood of corrosion, reducing the lifespan of components and could
ultimately lead to failure of the electrical system.
Servicing
An annual service is required in order to maintain
a valid warranty. A map of Emu approved
dealers is available at www.emubikes.com for
details.
Maintenance and repairs must only be done by a
specialist cycle shop, recommended by us at
EMU bikes.
In addition to an annual service, regularly inspect your bike for damage or worn
components which may become necessary to replace. Regular replacement of safety-
critical parts should also be considered.
Always replace components with the appropriate and correctly fitting and sized
components. For example, tyres and tubes should be replaced with the exact size
originally supplied (indicated on the side wall of the tyre).
6. SAFETY TIPS
•
Always
ride wearing a helmet.
•
Be visible to other users of the road. Wear a reflective jacket at all times.
Always
remove the
battery during
maintenance.
Do not
use a high-
pressure washer to clean
your bike.
Do not
leave the bike out
in wet conditions. If the
bike gets wet during use, dry
after use ensuring all electrical
components are completely dry.
When replacing safety-
critical components,
always use genuine
replacement parts.
Unauthorised
changes or
manipulation to the bike,
its components and electrical
system (tampering) may put the
rider at risk and will void your
warranty.
