Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear of
the brake pads, brake discs and rim sides
(braking surfaces). Otherwise the brake could
fail. Never grease or lubricate the clamping areas of a
frame made of carbon, e.g. handlebars, stem, seat post
and seat tube. Once greased, carbon components may
never again ensure reliable clamping!

While cleaning, watch out for cracks (e) ,
scratches
(f)
, dents as well as deformed or
discolored material. Have defective compo-
nents replaced immediately and touch up paint defects.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your MERIDA dealer.
A
Only use petroleum-based solvents for
cleaning tough oil or grease stains from paint
and carbon surfaces. Never use degreasing
agents containing acetone, methyl chloride or the like,
or solvent-containing, non-neutral or chemical cleaning
agents that could attack the surface!

Do not clean your MERIDA bike with a
high-pressure cleaner or a water jet and if
you do, be sure to keep it at a distance. Do
not aim at the bearings.
Safekeeping and storing your MERIDA bike
If you regularly look after your MERIDA bike during the
season, you will not need to take any special measures
when storing it for a short time, apart from securing it
against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place.
If you want to store your MERIDA bike for a longer period
of time, e.g. over the winter months, please observe the
following things: Inflated inner tubes tend to gradually
lose air when the bike is not used for a long time. If your
MERIDA bike is left standing on flat tires for an extend-
ed period, this can cause damage to the structure of the
tires. It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the en-
tire MERIDA bike or to check the tire pressure regularly
(g)
. Clean your MERIDA bike and protect it against cor-
rosion. Your MERIDA dealer has special maintenance
products, e.g. spray wax
(h) .
Remove the seat post and let moisture that may have
entered dry. Spray a little finely atomized oil into the
metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil in a carbon
seat tube. Shift the gear to the smallest chainwheel and
the smallest sprocket. This relaxes the cables and the
springs.

There are hardly any waiting times at your
MERIDA dealer during the winter months. In
addition, many of the MERIDA dealers offer
an annual check-up at a special price. Benefit from the
idle time and ask your MERIDA dealer to do the sched-
uled maintenance work!
