It is vital that the chain and derailleur are maintained. The below items should be
checked whilst maintenance is completed:
•
Remove dirt or grease from the chain and derailleur;
•
Check the tension of the chain, adjust if required;
•
Check the alignment of the gears; and
•
Reapply a suitable lubrication to the chain and derailleur.
Special note: the above is only a brief summary, please ensure to read and service the
derailleur as per the rear derailleur manual provided with the bicycle.
FASTENINGS & LUBRICATION
•
Ensure front forks, front and rear axles, cassette, chain and other rotation parts
are regularly lubricated;
•
Ensure all fastenings are secured;
Special note: the electrical parts do not require any lubrication; please ensure such
parts are not opened, as this will void the electrical component warranty. If you
believe there is an issue with an electrical component, please contact a Nikitin
representative.
CLEANING
The Nikitin range of electric bicycles should be cleaned with a damp microfiber cloth
or sponge and dried with a dry microfiber cloth.
Special note: when cleaning the bicycle avoid using a hose and take extra care not to
wet electrical components.
