Maintenance
Your bicycle requires regular maintenance for your safety but also to
prolong its useful life. It is important to check the mechanical elements
periodically in order that worn-out parts or those showing signs of wear
are replaced if necessary. When replacing a component, it is important
to use original brand parts in order to preserve the bicycle's
performance and reliability. Ensure that appropriate spare parts are
used for tyres, inner tubes, gear system components and the various
components of the braking system.
It is the responsibility of the user to use original parts.
WARNING:
always remove the battery before carrying out
any maintenance.
I.
Cleaning
To avoid corrosion of the bicycle, it should be rinsed in fresh water after
every use, especially if it has been exposed to sea air. It should be
cleaned with a sponge, a bowl of warm soapy water and a hosepipe
(without pressure).
WARNING:
never use a high pressure water jet cleaner.
II.
Lubrication
Lubrication is essential on the various components that move, in order
to avoid corrosion. Regularly grease the chain, brush the sprockets and
chainrings and periodically trickle a few drops of lubricant into the brake
and derailleur cable sheaths. We recommend starting by cleaning and
drying the components to be lubricated. Specific lubricant is
recommended for the chain and derailleur. Use an appropriate
lubricant for the other components.
