Operation Manual

NOTE:

Cleansers, lubricants and corrosion inhibitors are chemical products. Some of these agents can damage your

bike.

• Use only products that are expressly suitable for bikes.

• Ensure that this agent does not attack paintwork or rubber, plastic or metal parts etc. Contact your special-

ist bicycle dealer for further advice.

• Follow the manufacturers’ instructions.

1. Remove coarse soiling such as earth, stones, sand, etc. using a gentle water spray.

2. Allow the bike to dry for a while.

3. Spray the complete bike with a suitable cleansing agent.

4. Use a water jet to rinse down the entire bike. You can also carry out additional wet cleaning with the

help of a sponge or cloth.

5. Allow the bike to dry.

6. How to clean and grease the chain:

• Rotate the crank slowly against the direction of the drive. The rear wheel must not revolve.

• If your bike has a backpedal brake, ask another person to lift up the rear of the bike and turn the crank

in the drive direction.

• Pour a small amount of a suitable chain cleansing agent onto a clean, lint-free cotton cloth and wipe

off the chain.

• Repeat this procedure as often as necessary with a clean part of the cotton cloth until the chain is

clean.

• Allow the cleansing agent to evaporate for approximately 1 hour.

NOTE:

If there is still some cleansing agent between the links of the chain, the new grease is immediately

decomposed and therefore has no effect.

• Apply lubricant suitable for bike chains sparingly to the chain links.

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

If you use too much or unsuitable lubricant, this may drip on to the brake disc or rim and cause

them to smear. This may cause the braking effect to deteriorate signiﬁ cantly.

• Remove any excess lubricant from the chain using a clean, dry and lint-free cotton cloth.

• Clean the wheel rim and brake disc with a suitable degreasing agent. Consulting your special-

ist bicycle dealer.

NOTE:

Lubricant for motorbike chains will clog your bike chain and drive components.

Use only lubricants expressly approved for use on bike chains.

7. Clean any remaining heavily soiled parts by hand using a clean and lint-free cotton cloth and a suitable

cleansing agent.

8. Spray the whole bike with a suitable spray wax or similar corrosion inhibitor.
