3.4 Precautions required prior to each use
Verify that the brakes and the front & rear lights are all working properly. Also, check
the pressure of the tires.
On derailleur geared bicycles the rear derailleur automatically tensions the chain.
Make sure that the hinges on your bike are properly locked. Indeed, when using the
bike on a regular basis, the tension of the hinges’ adjustment and locking systems
can change slightly. Whenever necessary, adjust the tension once again.
This bike is not designed for rough usage condition, such as jumps, riding up or off of
pavements, and riding on unpaved roads. For your own safety, do not modify the
bike.
Please note: if you use the bike frequently, it is recommended that you inspect
the state of the fork, the frame, the suspension and the fasteners. The
materials and components may be subject to different reactions to usage and
wear.
If you have any doubts, contact your dealer, who will proceed with the necessary
inspection.
