Lubrication

WARNING:

• Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will reduce

brake performance and a longer distance to stop the bicycle will be necessary. Injury to

the rider or to others can occur.

• The chain can throw excess oil onto the wheel rim. Wipe excess oil o the chain.

• Keep all oil o the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest.

• Using soap and hot water, wash all oil o the wheel rims, the brake shoes, the pedals,

and the tires.

• Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride.

• Using a light machine oil (20W), lubricate the bicycle according to the following table:
