3.2 Maintenance activities

This chapter describes how, how often, and which maintenance must be carried out.
3.2.1 Frame
• The frame is powder-coated or black zinc plated. To prevent any rust forming it is important
to regularly clean the frame. If you want to conserve the frame with grease, only use acid free
substances. You can treat damaged areas with paint.
• Check the bolts and nuts for rust and replace them to prevent them from breaking which can cause
injuries.
3.2.2 Wheels/tires
• Regularly check the rims and tires for any damage (for example cuts, cracks and bulges). Attention:
damaged rims and tires can lead to accidents! The tires must not come into contact with oil, grease or
fuel.
• The correct tire pressure is shown on the outside of the tire. If the tires are at the correct pressure
the product will be light and easy to handle. If the pressure is too low, the tires will leak quicker and
will suffer excessive wear and tear. If the tire pressure is too high, the tire can for example come away
from the rim, resulting in dangerous situations. Attention: remember that in bright sunlight and at
high temperatures the tire pressure increases! Make sure that the valve caps are always fitted on the
valves.
