How frequently you need to maintain your MAGURA product depends
on how often you use it, but also on weather conditions.
Perform the following maintenance steps more frequently if you use
your bicycle in extreme conditions (rain, dirt, high mileage, etc.).
If you are a frequent user, also consider the fact that this exposes your
MAGURA product to more wear and thus requires more frequent main-
tenance intervals and checks.
Corrosion and material damage due to water penetration.
Ζ
Never use a pressure or steam cleaner to clean your bicycle – the seals
on your bicycle components are not built to withstand this pressure.
Ζ
You should even exercise care if you use a water hose. Never point the
water jet directly at seal areas
