Frame and Seat
Check the overall condition of the frame for cracks, dents and other damage. If the frame is
suspected of having any damage at all, seek the advice of your MT push dealer.
Check the seat for tears or lesions, if the seat is damaged or not functioning correctly, it should be
replaced. Although the seat material passes the relevant fire retardant standards, care should still
be taken to avoid open flames or exposure to high temperatures.
In the case of a crash or fall, thoroughly check the MT push for any damage. Never ride your MT
push unless you are completely confident that it is in full working order.
4.2 Maintenance Schedule
1. Check tyres after every ride
2. Check shocks after every 50-60 hours use, though servicing would only be expected every 12 -
18 months
3. To service bearings, special tools are necessary, only your MT push dealer should do this.
Wheel, steering and pivot bearings should be serviced every 12 - 18 months or when
looseness is felt in the bearing.
4.3 Bedding in Period
When first riding the MT push from new, it is important to understand that various components
and systems will be ‘bedding in’ and will take time to reach their full operating performance. As
every rider will use their MT push differently, the bedding in period will vary from person to
person. Typically this may occur after the first 30 days of use or earlier if ridden hard for 3 – 5
hours. Section 2.1 ‘The Mechanical Safety Check’ section provides an excellent guide to what
areas to check for signs of looseness or unintended movement in the systems. It is important to
perform these checks before and after each ride.
•
The spokes in the wheels can sometimes stretch, requiring the wheels to be serviced by a
capable bicycle technician.
•
The interface between the brake pads and the discs take time to bed in, such that the brakes
won’t work at their full power straight away.
Your MT push will last longer and serve you better if you observe the initial bedding in period and
ride gently and cautiously before riding hard on challenging terrain.
