Bicycle Care - Mercedes-Benz Fitness Bike Sport and Comfort Betriebsanleitung

Bicycle care

With your decision to purchase a Merce-
des-Benz Bike you are now the owner of a
high-quality product that requires regular
care and attention.
The best protection against damaging
environmental influences is regular was-
hing and conservation, in particular when
using your bike in the winter months. Salt
and dirt work their way into bearings and
attack the paint finish of your bike.
• For washing, use only a soft sponge
and clear water.
• Give a final polish with a soft cloth or
leather.
• Repair slight damage to the finish
immediately. Paint repair sticks are
part of the accessory kit provided with
your bike.
• When necessary, treat your bike with
a proprietary conservation and corro-
sion prevention product.
Remove the following forms of dirt as
soon as possible:
• Traces of sweat
• Insect remains
• Bird droppings
• Resins
• Oil and grease
• Tar spots.
Important!
Never clean your bike with a steam
cleaner, a high-pressure water jet
cleaner or an intense stream of
water. Water may enter the bearings
and may also damage the finish of
your bike.
Keep your eyes open!
Look out for damage, bending or discolou-
ration while cleaning your bike. If in doubt
about what to do, contact your Mercedes-
Benz dealer.
Bicycle care and cleaning
Potential accident risk
The brake discs must not come into contact
with conserving products, oils, greases or
other lubricants. If this should happen, clean
your brake discs with brake cleaner. Have
your brake pads checked at regular intervals
by a qualified professional bicycle workshop
and have them replaced if necessary.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you con-
sult an approved Mercedes-Benz dealer.
Risk of poisoning
Always store cleaning materials in closed
containers and out of reach of children.
Please read the instructions carefully before
use.
