Warnings relating to the use of disc brakes
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
If components of the disc brake wear out without you noticing, a loss of function
of the disc brake can result.
»
Contact your specialist dealer regularly (annually, after 500 hours of use or
after 1,000 km) to have your disc brake(s) checked and any worn components
replaced.
WARNING
Risk of injury from rotating brake discs and sharp edges!
Brake discs have sharp edges and can cause serious cuts. Rotating brake discs
can sever limbs.
»
Do not reach into a rotating brake disc.
»
Wear protective gloves when working on or near the brake disc.
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
The braking force of the hydraulic braking system decreases.
»
Have the brake fluid replaced regularly by your specialist dealer.
CAUTION
Risk of burns from contact with hot brake discs!
Brake discs can become very hot due to solar radiation and during operation,
especially when the brake is used intensively (e.g. when cycling downhill or
during emergency braking).
»
Always let the brake disc cool down first before working on or near the brake
disc.
