ARGENTO MiniMax Manual Del Usuario página 25

The correct pressure of the inner tube in the tyres should be constantly checked to reduce the risk of punctures, limit deterio-
ration and ensure safer use and performance of the bike.
Periodically inspect the state of wear and ageing/deterioration of the tyres and replace the tyres, if necessary, with ones that
have the same characteristics.
The correct servicing of the wheels, which become worn through use, means that they must be periodically checked to
ensure they are correctly centred and that the tensioning of the spokes is uniform and suitable for the type of rim. The hub
bearings should be inspected, cleaned and lubricated or replaced, if necessary.
The integrity of the rims supplied with the bike must be constantly checked to make sure that they are not deformed, cracked
or dented and/or show any other signs of corrosion and damage that require them to be replaced for safety reasons.
To ensure that the brakes work correctly, periodically replace the brake pads installed on the callipers when they reach a
thickness of no less than 1 mm, in addition to regularly checking the state of wear and integrity of the discs.
If the bike is fitted with mechanical disc brakes, the state of wear and tear of the steel cables on the inside the braking system
sheaths must be periodically checked and replaced to prevent the risk of breakage.
If the bike is fitted with hydraulic disc brakes and there is a decrease in braking efficiency, the mineral oil in the hydraulic
system circuit must be drained and replaced.
The correct functioning of the electrically power assisted cycle transmission is guaranteed by adequate maintenance and
adjustment of the relevant components.
The cable gear change system supplied with the product, which undergoes constant stress during use and operation as
a result of mechanical tension, may easily lose its adjustment setting. The correct operating conditions of the indexed rear
derailleur are guaranteed by adjusting the derailleur (stop screws) and adjusting the gear change cable.
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 include detailed information about disassembly and unscheduled maintenance as these operations
must always and exclusively be carried out by the after-sales service team of the authorised dealer.
The after-sales service team is able to provide all the necessary information and respond to any queries in order to care for
and keep your electrically power assisted cycle in perfect working condition.
