Jobs marked with an “X“ you should be able to do yourself, provided you have a certain degree of manual skill, a little
experience and suitable tools, this including, e.g., a torque wrench. If you come across any defects, take appropriate
measures without delay. Your MERIDA dealer will be pleased to help you, if you have any questions or problems.
Jobs
marked with a “D“ are best left to your MERIDA dealer.
