Winter operation and corrosion protection
NOTE
In the interest of environmental protection,
we ask you to use care products sparingly
and to use only those that are labeled as
environmentally friendly.
If the bicycle is used during the winter
months, it can cause considerable damage
due to road salt.
DANGER
Do not use warm water - increased salt
action.
- At the end of the ride, clean the bike with
cold water immediately.
- Dry the bike well.
- Treat parts susceptible to corrosion with
wax-based anticorrosion agents before use
and repeat this several times if necessary.
mending paint damage
Immediately repair minor paint damage with
a paint pen.
