SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Always use complete safety gear, since like many comparable sports, ice-
skating is a sport with relatively high risk of injury. Always wear a hand and wrist gu-
ard, knee and elbow pads and reflecting clothes and a helmet while skating. However,
please remember that wearing complete safety gear cannot guarantee 100% protec-
tion. HUDORA also provides protectors, helmets and reflecting products. For more
information, visit our http://www.hudora.de/.
Do not make any changes to your skates which could affect your safety. The self-
locking effect of clinch studs can deteriorate with repeated tightening and releasing.
Sharp edges which appear during use must be removed as quickly as possible. Regu-
lar checking, maintenance and care of your skates will keep them safe and increase
their life span.
• Always check that the connecting elements and closing parts are firmly locked before
starting.
• Always ensure that your ice skates are fitting snugly. They should not be too small
but must under no circumstances be too big, as you will not be able to stand securely
if the boot is too large.
• Please do not make any modifications to the construction of the product as this may
influence the skate’s safety!
• For your own safety, please use original spare parts only. These can be sourced from
HUDORA.
• Always use blade guards when away from the ice rink. They will help protect the
blades’ skating properties for a long period of time.
• Please always include the instructions when passing on the product to a third party!
• Do not use your ice skates once the blades have become blunt or rusty, or if the rivets
on the shoes have come loose or the shoelaces have been torn.
• Warning: Ground blades are sharp and can cause cuts!
• When skating on naturally ice-covered areas, e.g. on frozen lakes, there is a danger
that you could fall through the ice!
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING OUT IS THE HARDEST PART …
... most accidents happen to “beginners” within the first ten minutes. Particular care
should be taken during this stage.
ICE SKATE CONSTRUCTION
A skate boot is referred to in professional circles as "Ice-complete".Ice skates are boots
with a rigidly-attached blade, the actual ice skate. The plastic shell and the skate are
bolted together tightly. The skate blade consists of steel of a hardness of at least 52
HRC at the contact surface. The ices skates are ground ready for use.
SKATING TECHNIQUE
• Only use the product to go skating on specifically designated skating areas.
• Please note that these ice skates are intended for leisure skaters. They are not made
for competitive sports, ice hockey or figure skating.
• When starting out, keep to the edge of the area and hold on to a suitable object
(fence) or ask somebody to lead you for the first couple of steps.
• Please make sure that you are standing straight on the blades to prevent twisting
your ankles. The blades should stand at a right angle to the ice.
• To skate, push forward with the inner edge of one of the blades, held at a slight angle,
and slide over the ice with your weight on the other blade.
• Keep your knees slightly bent while skating and lean forward slightly with your upper
body.
• Do not look at your feet while skating, but always in the direction in which you‘re
moving.
• Continue by taking small steps, while shifting your body weight from one foot to the
other and placing your feet at an outward angle.
• To stop, leave both feet on the ice and let yourself skid to a stop. While doing so, use
your arms to keep your balance.
• Beginners are recommended to attend an ice skating course.
ADJUSTING THE SIZE (Image 1)
Please help your child adjust the size of their skates. To do this, loose the “Powerstrap”
and press the adjustment knob on the outside of the heel. You can now push the boot
backwards and forwards on the blade until you have found the right size. You will
find a shoe size marker where the front part of the sole meets the blade mount. After
adjusting the boot, release the button and pull the front of the boot again until you hear
it lock into place. Finish by checking that the boot fits properly.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• The shoes should be dried after each use.
• After each use, clean the metal parts of your ice skates with a soft cloth.
• The blades are hollow-ground. From time to time, the blades should be reground.
This service is offered at ice skating rinks and in large sports stores. Please note that
the blade holder must not be adjusted while the blade is being ground. After grinding,
there must be a radius of 5 mm at the end of the blade. Otherwise, the skate may
become unsafe to use.
• If the skates aren’t being used for a prolonged period of time, it is recommended to
grease the blades slightly to prevent them from becoming rusty.
• Check the skates for damage and wear and tear before and after use, and make sure
that all fasteners are firmly closed.
• Do not make any changes to the structure of the skates!
Use a dry or damp cloth only to clean the product; do not use special cleaning agents!
Check the product for damage or traces of wear and tear before and after each use.
Do not make any structural changes. For your own safety, please use original spare
parts only. These can be sourced from HUDORA. If parts become damaged or if sharp
