ARGENTO Piuma Manual Del Usuario página 27

The chain and the relevant drive gears are subject to wear due to use and must be regularly cleaned and lubricated with spe-
cific products (drip or spray, dry or wet) adapted to the season and methods of use of the product and periodically replaced in
order to guarantee their integrity and ensure they run smoothly and quietly.
Lubricate the parts in question only after they have been properly cleaned and degreased. Then, remove any excess lubricant
if oily lubricants have been used.
The front and rear suspensions (where present) cannot be adjusted unless otherwise specified in this manual as they do not
require specific maintenance; they only need to be checked to ensure they are working correctly and there is no play.
The linings of the suspensions installed on the bike already include the lubricant (where present)needed to ensure their
correct operation and do not, therefore, require additional lubrication.
The bike frame must be inspected regularly to exclude the presence of any signs of cracking and/or so-called "material
fatigue" so that any intervention required to reduce and/or eliminate the risk of damage and/or breakage can be promptly
performed.
Each part of the fastening mechanisms on the bike should be carefully inspected and a preventive and periodic general check
performed of the correct tightening of the self-tightening nuts and fastening screws which may lose their efficiency through
use and over time.
CAUTION
All the controls must be checked to ensure they work correctly after every routine maintenance intervention.
Maintenance notes
Every maintenance job must take place with the battery disconnected.
During each maintenance phase operators must be equipped with the necessary accident prevention equipment.
The tools used for maintenance must be suitable and good quality.
Do not use petrol or flammable solvents as cleaning agents but always use non-flammable and non-toxic solvents.
Limit the use of compressed air as much as possible and protect yourself with goggles with side shields.
Never use naked flame as a means of lighting when carrying out checks or maintenance work.
After each maintenance or adjustment job ensure that no tools or foreign bodies remain inside the organs of movement of the
assisted pedal bike.
This manual does not provide in-depth information regarding disassembly and extraordinary maintenance, as these opera-
tions must always be carried out exclusively by the authorized dealer's Support Service personnel.
The Assistance Service is able to provide all the indications and to respond to all the requests to take care of and keep your
pedal-assisted bicycle perfectly efficient.
CAUTION
Cleaning
Cleaning the electrically power assisted cycle is not only a matter of decorum, but also allows any defects to be detected
immediately.
The battery must be detached and removed in order to wash the bike, preferably using a sponge and/or a soft cloth and
water, with the possible addition of a specific neutral detergent and taking particular care when handling the electronic parts.
It is strictly forbidden to aim pressurised water jets at the various electrical parts, the motor, display and battery. After washing,
it is important to dry all the washed components, as well as the frame and the braking surfaces with a second soft cloth and/
or dry completely with low pressure compressed air and check that no residual moisture has remained on the electrical
components.
If there are stains on the body of the scooter, wipe with a damp cloth. If the stains persist, apply neutral soap, brush out with a
toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Do not clean the items with alcohol, petrol, paraffin or other corrosive or volatile chemical solvents to prevent severe damage.
